Large Solutions for Large Waste
Meeting Room 165

A collaboration between Oregon Metro and GBB, this presentation will feature bulk waste remedies ranging from enhancing public education and incentivization opportunities for reuse to new technologies and legislation. The presenters and audience will explore these solutions through the lens of a municipality for a large metropolitan area (Oregon Metro) that has recently taken on the challenges of managing bulky waste for multifamily buildings, as well as from a financial and sustainable solid waste materials management perspective (GBB). Additionally, this presentation will share best practices and lessons learned from successful case studies / approaches to bulky waste management, including proven strategies from six (6) sizable residential bulk waste collection programs currently in place across the country (Austin, TX, Charlotte, NC, Seattle, WA, Oakland, CA, Cleveland, OH, and Suffolk, VA).
