Here’s what’s happening with the Waste Prevention Action Team:
We have started a new Recycling Block Captain program, recently released an updated version of the Corvallis-Area ReUse Directory, and are working with local faith communities! Click on the menu items to the right to learn more!
The Vision of the Waste Prevention Action Team is that by 2030, Corvallis is a waste-free community.
1: By 2020, the recycling rate for the Corvallis community will be 75%. (The recycling rate includes cardboard, commingled materials, electronics, food waste, office paper, wood waste, and yard debris that have been recycled.)
2. By 2020, there will be a 50% reduction in the per capita weight of landfill disposal (discards).
Corvallis Recycling Block Captain Program: A way for Corvallis citizens to educate their neighborhood about recycling and waste prevention.
Corvallis-Area ReUse Directory: A guide to all of the organizations and businesses in our area that accept items for reuse, and what they each accept.
Faith Communities Project: Outreach to local faith communities to help educate their congregations about waste prevention.
