Waste Prevention

Waste Prevention Action Team

We’re working to make Corvallis a waste free community. Our goals are to reach 75% recycling rate, 50% reduction in per capita weight of landfill disposal, and increase proper disposal of hazardous waste 75% by 2020.

We’ve launched these projects to meet those goals:

  • No Food Left Behind helps residents waste less food
  • Prescription Bottle ReUse program in collaboration with Rice’s Pharmacy (ON HOLD DUE TO COVID)
  • Recycling Block Captain program and recycling handouts
  • Reduce, Reuse, Recycle messages for use in community newsletters and bulletins
  • ReUse Directory
    • ReUse Directory – printed version
    • Waste Prevention Directory – online interactive version with reuse, repair and recycling
  • Zero Waste Group Facebook group

MEETINGS:
Third Wednesday of each month, 5:30–7 pm (New member orientation 5–5:30 pm)

  • Until further notice: All meetings will be held via Zoom
  • A new Zoom meeting link will be sent to the WPAT google group each month
  • Anyone else wanting to participate should email Dawn Marie Gaid for the link

See our calendar for upcoming meetings.
