Description of facility and application
WasteXpress Environmental applied for a new solid waste facility license to receive and transfer non-hazardous industrial solid waste at the WasteXpress facility. The facility accepts and transfers non-hazardous industrial solid waste that requires special handling, such as petroleum-contaminated soil. WasteXpress collects, consolidates and transfers this waste as part of its commercial special waste collection service. WasteXpress currently holds a Solid Waste Disposal Site permit issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
The WasteXpress facility is owned by Marx Investments, LLC and operated by WasteXpress Environmental. The property is zoned Heavy Industrial (IH), and the proposed use is allowed outright in this zone by the City of Portland.
A copy of the license application is available at the link below. Metro will respond to the comments received during the public comment period as part of a staff report and will post the report to this page when available. If the application is approved, Metro will issue a new license authorizing the facility to conduct the solid waste activities as described above. Metro may add additional requirements to the license based on the comments received. A standard Metro license generally has a term of five years.
