The Rethink Waste Project
The Rethink Waste Project envisions a community that understands the upstream and downstream impacts of using Earth's resources and makes responsible decisions about the consumption, use, and disposal of materials. Through education, outreach, events, and advocacy, we aim to empower Central Oregonians to rethink their relationship with stuff, consume sustainably, and reduce waste.
The Recycling Modernization Act is here.
This July, Oregon became the first state in the nation to pass a sweeping bill that modernizes our recycling system, and makes producers responsible for their packaging. Do you have questions about what has changed or what is about to change? Check out our resources below.
