Did you know the commercial sector generates 75% of Portland's waste stream? Portland City Council recently adopted a resolution with one of the goals being to maximize the recovery of all commercial waste with a target of 75% by 2015. Along with Metro, the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability will assist Portland's businesses (more than 20,000!) to increase participation in the city's commercial recycling and waste prevention programs.
On the other hand, we may be seeing Hawaiian waste make its way down the Columbia to a landfill in Klickitat county....who knows what invasives might be along for the ride.
