Introduction

Purpose of Integrated Waste Management Plan

This plan has been prepared by the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua & Siuslaw as a guide to

develop and implement an effective integrated waste management program specific to the tribe’s needs. The

Plan will assist the Tribes with making decisions to improve the lands, air, water, and cultural resources in the

Tribes’ Ancestral Territory for future generations. This plan includes the identification of existing waste

systems and waste reduction strategies, implementation, monitoring and outreach methods.

Federal, State, and Other Agencies Involved

The United States has a unique legal relationship with Tribal governments based on specific constitution,

treaties, statutes, executive orders, and court decisions. Under the American legal system, Indian tribes have

sovereign powers separate and independent from the federal and state governments. This means that Tribal

governments have the same powers as the federal and state governments to regulate their internal affairs,

with a few exceptions. For instance, tribes have the power to form a government, to decide their own

membership, the right to regulate property, the right to maintain law and order, the right to regulate

commerce, and so on.

Because of the unique nature of Tribal sovereignty and specific federal legislation recognition, various

governmental agencies are involved in assisting Indian tribes. Agencies assisting tribes with solid waste

management needs and concerns are listed in Appendix A.

Pertinent Laws & Regulations

Native American tribes play an increasingly critical role in regulating the environment on Indian lands.

Although tribes are increasing their own regulatory authority, the EPA retains jurisdiction over all pollution

sources until a program has been delegated to the tribe. Indian tribes must qualify for the "delegation" of a

program under the various environmental protection laws administered by the EPA. A list of Federal laws and

regulations concerning solid waste management issues is included in Appendix A.

State power over activities on Indian reservations generally is narrow. Although tribes are required to follow

federal laws and regulations, tribes may incorporate state laws and regulations (when applicable) when

addressing environmental issues generally at their own discretion. There is potential for overlap and conflict

among tribal, state, and federal regulations.

Tribal Statements and Waste Management Goals

“As a sovereign nation, we honor and look to our ancestors thousands of years of experience on the land, as

we guide the Tribes forward for the next seven generations; promoting healthy, successful families; affirming

and nurturing our culture, acknowledging our responsibility to the land and the Tribal community.”

“The Confederated Tribes have had continuous government of, by, and for the Tribes since Time

Immemorial…The Confederated Tribes has the rights and responsibilities of any government to its people and

their resources. To this end, the Department of Natural Resources was established to conserve and manage

resources on Tribally-held lands and to work with other governments to influence conservation and

management of resources throughout the Tribes’ Ancestral Territory.”

This integrated waste management plan has been developed to provide the tribal decision makers and

members with a set of goals and policies to implement, monitor and evaluate future waste management

activities. Based on the mission of the Tribes and the Department of Natural Resources, the following goals

and objectives for the Integrated Waste Management Plan have been adopted:



Maintain and improve Tribal environmental quality



To complete and update a Tribal Integrated Waste Management Plan that outlines an appropriate

balance of waste prevention, reuse, recycling, and disposal.



Meet waste disposal and recycling needs for Tribal facilities and reduce waste generation



Develop a waste hierarchy of waste reduction, recycling, composting, and disposal



Ensure environmental protection through proper disposal of municipal waste, construction and

demolition wastes, and other special wastes (household hazardous waste, industrial waste, asbestos,

appliances, electronic equipment, tires, motor oil, etc)



Evaluate cost effectiveness of implementing Tribal Integrated Waste Management Plan



Develop Tribal Code respective to management and enforcement of an Integrated Waste Management

Plan

Current objectives:



Establish a cost effective and efficient system for managing the Integrated Waste Management Plan



Obtain funding for expanding waste management services, outreach, and/or facilities.



Provide easily available and convenient recycling information and/or opportunities and access for Tribal

members, Tribal housing, and Tribal government.



Educate and involve citizens in waste reduction, recycling efforts, and responsible waste management.



Promote collection services that balance administrative efficiency, cost effectiveness and aesthetics.



Utilize to the fullest extent possible existing facilities and systems.



Manage the system to protect public health and the environment.



Ensure that special wastes are handled, recycled or disposed of in a safe manner.

Future Objectives:



To improve efficiency, quality, and coverage of waste systems at Tribal government and housing

facilities.



Further promote waste reduction, reuse, and recycling as preferred long-term strategies for reducing

the amount of waste disposed in landfills



Provide additional waste management services and facilities as the need arises.



Address and support strong enforcement of waste issues.



Take advantage of alternatives for yard and wood waste and other potentially recyclable materials.



Work with the Tribal enterprises to reduce waste, improve recycling and integrate composting.



Continue outreach for reduction of toxic materials in landfill.



Support environmentally sound waste disposal alternatives for Tribal members.

Description of Lands and Ancestral Lands

The lands of the CTCLUSI Ancestral Territory, encompasses 1.6 million acres of lands at or adjacent to the

Pacific Ocean. The landscape ranges from beaches to coastal lakes to rivers to dunes and forests. The area

remains relatively low in population density and contains some of North America’s most extensive forests.

The region contains a diversity of natural resources for industries such as mining, logging, fishing, agriculture,

and tourism.

This section contains a general description of the existing land use of the Confederated Tribes of the Coos,

Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Ancestral and Tribal lands. Tribal lands range from urban to rural. Urban areas

include the cities Coos Bay, Reedsport, Florence located near the mouth of the Coos, Umpqua and Siuslaw

Rivers (respectively). Table 1-3 contains a breakdown of land use on the various Tribal lands.

This section of the plan includes a general description of the land use on the reservation, including geography,

rural vs. urban nature, and land use types. For this section, the following information should be included:

 General location of development (north, south, east and west)

Existing Systems Overview

The existing numbers of members residing on CTCLUSI Tribal lands are 35. Tribal housing residents have

garbage and recycling costs paid for by the Tribe.

The majority of waste originating from a Tribal household or government facility (Florence Outreach) or

enterprise in the Florence area is collected by Central Coast Disposal or transported for disposal to Florence

Transfer Station (see Chapter 3 for more information). The waste from the Eugene/Springfield Outreach waste

and recycling is collected by a contractor and transported for disposal or recycling. The majority of waste and

recycling originating from a Tribal households (Qaxes Heights), government facilities (Administration Offices)

or enterprises in Coos county, is collected by Les County Sanitary and transported for disposal or recycling.

The year-round adult population of the Tribal members is 727; however, CTCLUSI tribe operates the Three

Rivers Casino and Hotel and Ocean Dunes golf course located in Florence, Oregon, attract visitors from outside

the reservation. As the Integrated Waste Management Program continues to develop, CTCLUSI should strive

to better understand and assist the casino and golf course with waste reduction methods and disposal options

for these enterprises.

Annual Waste Generation

The calculated waste generation per day per person living in the United States in 2011, based on EPA

Municipal Solid Waste webpage1, was 4.40 pounds and recycling accounted for 1.53 pounds. Using this

formula and assuming that Tribal membership acts similarly to the typical US population, the annual waste

produced by the Tribe is 1,167,562 pounds.

WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL GOALS

This chapter presents a description of the existing waste system utilized by CTCLUSI government offices and

Tribal housing.

Waste collection systems will be evaluated for their ability to meet existing and projected needs within the

framework of the following goals:



Meet waste disposal and recycling needs for Tribal facilities



Develop a waste hierarchy of waste reduction, recycling, composting, disposal and incineration



Ensure environmental protection through proper disposal of municipal waste, construction and

demolition wastes, and other special wastes (household hazardous waste, ash, sludge, industrial waste,

asbestos, appliances, electronic equipment, tires, motor oil, etc)



Evaluate cost effectiveness of implemented Integrated Waste Management Plan



Develop Tribal Code respective to management and enforcement of Integrated Waste Management

Plan

These goals were developed to address waste collection needs for CTCLUSI and are derived from the overall

Tribal Integrated Waste Management Plan goals identified in Chapter 1.

Collection

Currently Tribal government and Tribal Housing waste is collected by Les County Sanitary, in Coos county,

and Central Coast Disposal, in Lane County, depending on the location of the Tribal facility. Waste collected

is paid for through Indirect funding (account code 7260).







Due to lack of funding resources, CTCLUSI will not pursue the option of operating a waste collection

facility for waste disposal or recycling

Tribal members living off Tribal lands are advised to take their recycling to appropriate recycling

facilities, such as transfer stations.

Although there is no recycling facility on CTCLUSI lands, educating Tribal members and Tribal

Administration that taking appropriate recyclable materials to transfer stations will help reduce costs

for waste disposal and assist in protecting environmental quality and Tribal cultural resources

Compost Facilities

Currently composting is not available at transfer stations. Tribal government does not provide composting

services for the government or housing facilities. For information about composting see Appendix D.

ILLEGAL DUMPING

People observing illegal dumping of waste (the action, the presence of improper materials in collection

containers, or waste materials dumped in inappropriate locations) on the reservation’s property are to notify

Tribal Police at 541-997-6011 or any of the Tribal Police Officers.

Actions for Cleanup

To successfully deal with illegal dumping problems, the CTCLSUI has implemented a limited approach for

dealing with Cleanup that includes:





Community Outreach

Site Cleanup and Monitoring

Community Outreach

Educating tribal members, visitors, and the surrounding community members about how proper waste

disposal will help limit future illegal dumping incidents. Tribal members are more likely to support waste

management programs if they understand the new waste disposal options and the dangers of open and illegal

dumping.

The following measures will be implemented by CTCLUSI to educate tribal members on new waste disposal

options and the dangers of open and illegal dumping.

 Tribal Integrated Waste management Plan will be posted on the CTCLUSI website

 A flyer or pamphlet will be produced that reflects the Tribes views of waste management, illegal

dumping and trash burning. The flyer or pamphlet will provide resources to Tribal members such as

waste disposal sites and contact information for illegal dumping sightings. This material would be

available at Tribal Offices and on the CTLCUSI website.

 Contact information regarding illegal dumping reporting will be available on the CTCLUSI website.

Site Cleanup and Monitoring

Site cleanup and monitoring includes planning, budgeting, and implementing monitoring and cleanup projects

at current sites and monitoring of these sites for illegal dumping activity and efforts to prevent future illegal

dumping. Proper planning is a key element in the success of monitoring and cleanup efforts. CTCLUSI will

organize collaborative efforts between Maintenance, Natural Resources and Tribal Police departments to

budget, plan and implement monitoring and cleanup activities.

Monitoring of cleaned up sites is crucial to eliminating the occurrence of illegal dumping. When funding

permits, signs will be posted along with fencing, landscaping or other barriers to limit site access and

discourage future dumping at the site. Standard adhesive backed “decals” warning of the prohibition against

and the intent to prosecute unauthorized users could be made available if indirect funding is available.

Surveillance & Control Program

Once policies are in place for actions addressing illegal dumping, program enforcement and measurement are

needed for evaluation of how policies are working.

Enforcement

The establishment of tribal codes, ordinances, and regulations related to proper disposal of waste materials

are the foundation for enforcement actions against illegal dumping and set the stage for strong support from

tribal council members. Beyond that, support is needed to remind tribal members, visitors, and the local

community that illegal dumping is prohibited and Tribal Police are available if active illegal dumping is

occurring.

CTCLSUI will implement the following enforcement measures as deterrents for illegal dumping.



Tribal resolution that supports the Tribal Integrated Waste Management Plan



Collaboration of the Natural Resources, Maintenance, an Police departments to implement and

update the Tribal Integrated Waste Management Plan



Development of outreach materials for Tribal members with background information and key points

of contact

Program Measurement

Integral to any program is measurement of effectiveness. CTCLUSI will implement the following methods to

measure the effectiveness of deterrents to illegal dumping.



Record of illegal dumping activities



Annually review accounts of illegal dumping

Resources

CTCLUSI will promote resources for hazardous waste disposal and community clean-up events.



See Chapter 5

- Example of community hazardous waste clean-up event:

http://www.ci.florence.or.us/publicworks/household-hazardous-waste-roundWASTE

SYSTEMS NEEDS

Based on the review of the existing systems used by Tribal housing and Tribal government, and systems

employed independently by Tribal membership, CTCLUSI has identified a potential waste management

strategy designed to build upon the existing waste and recycling management systems and facilities. The

needs are also based on the goals and objectives stated in Chapter 1 of this Plan, and how best to achieve

these goals.

A key component of a strong Tribal Integrated Waste Management Program is utilizing a collection and

disposal system that is compatible with the existing and future needs of the tribe.

An evaluation of the estimated annual operating costs for waste operations was prepared (see table next

page).

ESTIMATED ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR CTCLUSI

Recycling

Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste back into valuable resources. Collection of

recyclables is just the first step in a series of actions that generate a host of financial, environmental, and

societal returns. There are several key benefits to recycling, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Reduces emissions of many greenhouse gases and water pollutants.

Conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals.

Saves energy, promotes efficiency and money spent on energy

Stimulates the development of more environmentally friendly (greener) technologies.

Reduces the need for new landfills and incinerators.

Improves the quality of the environment and natural resources and is often associated with feelings

of pride and accomplishment.

Helps sustain the environment for future generations.

Recycling not only makes sense from an environmental and natural resource standpoint, but also makes good

financial sense. Many products are can be made with less cost. For example, creating aluminum cans from

recycled aluminum is far less energy-intensive, and less costly, than mining the raw materials and

manufacturing new cans from scratch.

Recycling rates can be estimated by using the information on waste production and recycling in Chapter 2.

Using this calculation, it can be estimated that the Tribes produce 405,993 pounds of recyclable materials. It

is unknown what the ratio of these recyclable materials are added into the waste stream or if they are

recycled.

Recycling facilities

Tribal Government and Tribal Housing currently contract out waste/garbage services that include

comingled and glass recycling. Counties and local garbage collections generally offer recycling of comingled

recycling and glass; often oil recycling will also be offered. Typically recycling is offered at no additional

collection cost and is free at transfer stations. By reducing volume of waste, recycling offers an effective

way to reduce overall costs of waste disposal for individuals and business. Reducing waste aligns with the

mission of the Tribes’ Department of Natural Resources to conserve, protect, and restore the natural

resources of the Confederated Tribes’ Ancestral Territory.

IDENTIFICATION OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALS

Recyclable materials were identified and separated into three tiers using the following criteria:

Tier 1: Local Facilities were identified for all Tribal Service counties8, materials are readily accepted, most

recyclable materials fall into this category.

Tier 2: Materials that can be recycled, but for which there are limitations in the locations that may accept

these materials or recycling may only be offered for a limited time. These materials may be dropped off or

collected for recycling on an irregular basis, seasonally, at special events, or at selected locations as feasible

or necessary.

Tier 3: Materials for which recycling may become feasible in the future. Although some facilities do exist in

Oregon most do not regularly accept these items.

8 Curry county transfer stations have limited recycling

TIERED DESIGNATION OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALS

The identified list of materials by tier is presented below:

RECYCLING RECOMMENDATIONS

Tribal members are encouraged to take recyclables to a transfer station or recycling center near their

residence or business. CTCLUSI will promote recycling events taking place in Coos, Douglas and Lane counties

on the CTCLUSI website and/or at Administration and Outreach offices. Please see Appendix and Chapter 3

Transfer facilities and Landfills for existing garbage and recycling facilities.

COLLECTION

Tribal Housing Residents are responsible for placing their recyclables at curbside for collection on their

assigned days.

Tribal members living outside of Tribal housing must either take their recyclables with their other waste, to

appropriate disposal facilities see Chapter 3 or inquire about recycling with their garbage collection provider.

While some Tribal members live in remote areas with limited access to disposal or collection facilities, Tribal

members are discouraged from burning because of potential health risks and environmental. Additionally

many items are not legal to burn in the state of Oregon10 or Tribal lands11. Tribal members who continue or

insist on burning illegal materials or off season are in violation of applicable laws and at risk for citation from

local, state, or Tribal police

RECYCLING GOALS

The following goals have been adopted by CTCLUSI to enhance recycling.







Meet and improve recycling needs for the Tribal facilities, including housing

Develop a waste hierarchy of waste reduction, recycling, composting, and disposal

Develop outreach

Improving Recycling Programs

CTCLUSI has determined that existing recycling programs could be improved by outreach to CTCLUSI Tribal

members and Tribal Administration. This would increase the effectiveness of the overall waste management

system and potentially reduce costs. The Natural Resources department will work with the Maintenance

department and

Outreach and Community Involvement

For a recycling program to remain successful, the Natural Resource department must ensure continued

awareness of the program including types of materials collected and proper methods to be used for recycling

the various materials. Resources to aid in this approach include techniques such as flyers and brochures,

workshops, print ads, and presentations. Further information on outreach and education can be found in

Chapter 6.

Program Monitoring

The recycling coordinator will continually monitor the recycling program to identify any needs or deficiencies

and obtain tribal council support to address and manage these areas. Methods the tribe will use for

monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the recycling program are described below.

11 No Tribal Code currently exists for this (11/30/13 MC)

Chapter 5

Special Wastes

SPECIAL WASTES

Wastes that require special handling or consideration when it enters the waste management system are

labeled special waste. These wastes may include, but are not limited to:



Hazardous Waste (HW)



Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris



Electronic Wastes (E-Waste)



Tires



Asbestos Wastes



Vehicle Fluids



Petroleum Contaminated Soil



Medical/Infectious Wastes



Veterinary Wastes



Liquid Wastes

As a beginning point for this Tribal Integrated Waste Program, only some of the Special wastes listed above

will be addressed in this Chapter.

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE

Examples of Household Hazardous waste:

 Cleaning Products: Oven cleaners; drain cleaners; wood and metal cleaners and polishers; toilet

cleaners; tub, tile and shower cleaners; bleach; pool/hot tub chemicals

 Indoor Pesticides: Flea repellants and shampoos; ant sprays and baits; bug sprays; moth repellents;

mouse and rat poisons and bait; houseplant insecticides; cockroach spreads and baits

 Automotive products: Motor oil; fuel additives; carburetor and fuel injection cleaners; engine coolant

(antifreeze); starter fluids; automotive batteries; transmission and brake fluid; air conditioning

refrigerants

 Workshop/Painting supplies: Adhesives and glues; furniture/paint strippers; stains and finishes; paint

thinners and turpentine; oil or enamel based paint; photographic chemicals; fixatives and other

solvents

 Lawn and Garden Products: herbicides, insecticides, fungicides/wood preservatives

 Miscellaneous Flammable Products: Propane tanks and other compressed gas; gas cylinders;

kerosene; home heating oil; diesel fuel; gas/oil mix; lighter fluid

 Miscellaneous: Batteries (non-rechargeable lithium ion); mercury thermostats or thermometers;

fluorescent light bulbs; florescent

HHW can harm the environment and human health if it is not properly handled and disposed.



Product Use – Some pesticides, when used improperly (for example, at high application rates), may

enter surface waters and kill aquatic life and contaminate drinking water



Product Storage – Improperly stored products can result in accidental poisonings of children and

animals. Similarly, storage of flammable products (solvents, fuels, oil-based paint) in homes may start

fires, add to the fuel load of buildings, and endanger firefighter safety



Waste Handling – There have been several reported incidents at waste facilities where collection

workers have been injured or endangered as a result of hazardous waste disposal from households. For

example, some pool chemicals are highly reactive and can release a poisonous gas. Alternatively,

flammable products may ignite inside the collection vehicle or disposal facility



Product Disposal – Many hazardous products, unless segregated and collected separately from other

wastes, can damage the environment, including contamination of soil and water, and pollution of air.

Environmental damage can occur in several ways, including direct releases to the environment (dumping

outside), releases from disposal sites (landfills and incinerators), and releases from wastewater

treatment facilities. Used oil dumped on the ground, automotive batteries thrown in a roadside ditch,

and herbicides dumped down the storm drain are all examples of direct releases that may harm the

environment. Even disposal of some types of HHW in lined landfills can result in environmental damage.

For example, mercury disposed of with regular garbage will eventually leach out of the landfill. If

collected, the leachate is typically treated on-site or sent to a wastewater treatment facility. In either

case, the mercury is eventually released back into the environment.

Existing Programs

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection programs ensure hazardous materials are properly handled

and sent to facilities designed to treat or dispose of hazardous waste. CTCLUSI does not currently have a HHW

collection program. Although, counties throughout Oregon do hold periodic events throughout the year or

provide curbside collection for some HHW products like motor oil or batteries. Tribal members and Tribal

Administration is encouraged to contact county special or hazardous waste departments to inquire about

programs. Tribal Administration will work with counties to get the word out about collection events and post

materials on the CTCLUSI website.

Contracted Services and Agreements

Many tribes choose to use private contractors for HHW disposal. Contractors hired to manage an HHW

collection program are trained in hazardous waste handling and manifesting requirements, and can be

available on an as-needed basis. This can be an ideal solution for reservations with periodic collection events

which do not require full time staff to manage the program on a year round basis.

Program Development

A goal of the CTCLUSI Tribal Integrated Waste Plan is to minimize environmental and health impacts associated

with HHW. Efforts will be directed at educating Tribal members and Tribal Administration about the potential

hazards of household products, as well as proper handling and disposal methods.

CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE

Construction and demolition (C&D) debris is generated by the construction, demolition, and renovation of

existing structures, clearing of land, removal or construction of roads and utilities, and other activities that

produce bulky wastes. General characteristics, regulatory requirements, landfilling options, and recycling

opportunities for C&D debris differ from those for MSW, and therefore, should be managed differently.

Some C&D debris may be classified as hazardous waste because it contains hazardous materials, such as lead

or chromium, or has been contaminated by other hazardous waste. Hazardous C&D debris must be disposed

of in a hazardous waste landfill. Other toxic materials, such as asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),

must also be managed in accordance with federal regulations, as spelled out by the Toxic Substances Control

Act (TSCA).

C&D Existing Practices

C&D debris is generated from a variety of construction and demolition activities. Sources and representative

composition are discussed in this subsection. Depending on the type and amount of activities occurring on a

reservation, the amount of C&D debris generated can vary greatly.

Factors affecting quantities of debris generated, collected, and disposed of include the type of construction

(i.e., office buildings, recreational facilities, and housing) and the type of project (i.e., new construction,

remodeling, renovation, road repair).

CTCLUSI has had a variety of construction projects that have taken place on Tribal lands over the past decade.

A few examples of past and current projects are: building a casino and hotel, renovations to Tribal

Administration and Outreach offices, renovations of a golf course, and acquisition and clean-up of a

government surplus property at Coos Head. CTCLUSI uses private contractors for the disposal C&D debris.

Tribal members and contractors must transport all C&D debris off Tribal lands for disposal at county transfer

stations and landfills.

Surveillance and management of contracted services is crucial to confirming proper waste disposal.

Program Development

The major potential benefits of C&D debris recycling are to reduce the cost of materials used in construction

and to reduce the volume and cost of disposal of waste materials. Other benefits that can be gained through

waste management include a more accurate prediction of waste generation rates for building projects,

increased revenue from the sale of the recovered materials, and the conservation of valuable natural

resources.

CTCLUSI has selected the following options for future considerations and/or implementation:





Development of C&D materials disposal methods for contracted services

- Inclusion of methods in Request for Proposals for construction, renovation, or demolition

activities contracted by the Tribes

- Surveillance of contracted disposal services

Development of materials recovery approach that reduces the creation of C&D waste and subsequent

costs

SCRAP TIRES

Scrap tires are generated from passenger cars, trucks, or farm equipment when tires are changed because

they are worn or damaged. Often scrap tires are accumulated by commercial businesses that sell or change

tires. Scrap tire piles are not treated as hazardous waste.

A tire's physical structure, durability, and heat-retaining characteristics make tire stockpiles a potential threat

to human health and the environment. The curved shape of a tire allows rainwater to collect and creates an

ideal habitat for disease carrying pests such as rodents and mosquitoes. Prone to heat retention, tires in

stockpiles also can ignite, creating fires that are difficult to extinguish and can burn for months, generating

unhealthy smoke and toxic oils. Illegal tire dumping pollutes ravines, woods, deserts, and empty lots.

However, once a tire fire occurs, tires break down into hazardous compounds including gases, heavy metals,

and oil, which may then trigger other cleanup requirements.

Tire Existing Practices

CTCLUSI does not have an existing Tire recycling program. CTCLUSI encourages proper tire disposal. Proper

disposal occurs when the new tires are put on a vehicle (and old tires are taken by the company selling new

tires); Tribal and community members can often drop off a limited numbers of tires at transfer stations or

recycling centers. Tribal members are encouraged to call their county Special Waste department to inquire

about tire collection days (which may coincide with HHW collection).

Contracted Services and Agreements

CTCLUSI may choose to use a private contractors for scrap tire disposal. Contractors hired to manage scrap

tires collection and disposals are trained in hazardous waste handling and manifesting requirements, and can

be available on an as needed basis.

Program Development







CTCLUSI will manage surveillance of contracted services for scrap tire disposal.

CTCLUSI may look to state or federal scrap tire programs for financial assistance to fund clean-up on

Tribal Lands or hold scrap tire collection events.

There are a variety of uses for scrap tires instead of disposal. Scrap tires may be recycled and

produce products such as floor mats, boat bumpers, agricultural and horticultural applications,

sports and playing fields and tracks, playgrounds, to name a few. CTCLUSI will consider and

encourage recycling when managing the disposal of scrap tires

Chapter 6

Waste Reduction Outreach and

Public Education

WASTE REDUCTION

Waste reduction includes both waste prevention and reuse. Recycling is also a form of waste reduction. The

following figure highlights preferred ways to manage waste, reduce environmental degradation due to waste,

and manage costs.

Most preferred

Least preferred

Source reduction is defined as the practice of designing, manufacturing, purchasing, or using materials in an

effort to reduce waste volume or toxicity. Source reduction approaches waste reduction by addressing the

origins of waste generation. Producing a new product requires materials (raw or processed) and energy

(through extraction, processing or transport of the materials or product). Consequently, reduction and reuse

of products have been recognized as effective ways to conserve natural resources, protect the environment,

and save money.

Reuse is defined as using objects or materials over again, or finding new uses for them so they are not thrown

away. Reusing items reduces waste at the points of use because it delays or avoids their entry into the waste

collection and disposal system. Examples of reuse include crushing broken-up concrete and using it as an

aggregate for road base and reusing empty food jars to store food, nails, buttons, etc.

CTCLUSI recognizes that the most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place.

SOURCE REDUCTION

To have a successful source reduction program, Tribal employees and Tribal members need to be trained in

source reduction and promotion of reduction methods needs to take place. Practicing source reduction can

achieve cost savings through reduced purchasing costs and lower waste collection, transportation, processing,

and disposal costs.









CTCLUSI does not currently implement any source reduction strategies.

CTCLUSI will work to develop goals and integrate source reduction strategies

When developed, waste reduction goals and strategies12 will be included in the Tribal Integrated

Waste Management Plan and if applicable the Employee Handbook

CTCLUSI will work to promote waste reduction through outreach and education

REUSE

Reuse is preferred to recycling because the materials do not need to be reprocessed before they can be used

again. Items normally discarded as waste—such as appliances, furniture, office supplies, clothing—can be

reused as originally intended or as used products. Reuse is a good alternative to disposal for materials for

which recycling facilities are located too far away.







CTCLUSI maintains a formal reuse program whereby used sheets and towels and sometimes furniture,

from the Tribes’ casino, are available to Tribal members without cost.

CTCLUSI has not established a budget for public education and outreach materials to waste

management, recycling or waste reduction

CTCLUSI will work to promote reuse of items through outreach and education13

RECOMMENDATIONS

To improve waste management and to increase recycling, reuse, and source reduction, the Natural Resource

Department along with the Tribal Administration will work to develop and implement waste management

practices and improve outreach, education, and training regarding proper waste disposal methods. Waste

reduction methods and benefits will be evaluated when time and funding permits. CTCLSUI may explore

funding opportunities to implement or expand waste management services.

12 Examples of source reduction and reuse strategies are available in the TSWAN Integrated Solid Waste

Management template

Chapter 7

Implementation

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRIBAL INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

Tribal Administration and Natural Resource Department will work together to manage and implement good

Tribal waste practices outlined in the Tribal Integrated Waste Plan. When applicable Tribal Police may be

another source of management and implementation of the Tribal Integrated Waste Plan. Tribal Council will

work with Tribal Administration, Natural Resource Department, and Tribal Police to ensure that practices

improve and maintain the quality of land, air, water, and cultural resources in the Tribes’ Ancestral Territory

for future generations. This plan includes the identification of existing waste systems and waste reduction

strategies, implementation, monitoring and outreach methods.

Tribal Personnel & Responsibilities

The roles and responsibilities of waste management are diverse and complex, will continue to grow and adapt

as the Tribal Integrated Waste Management Plan develops and grow.







Tribal Administration

- Budgeting- anticipates revenues/losses from disposal fees and grant funds

- Website resources- provides IT assistance for posting information on CTCLUSI website

Natural Resources Department

- Operation—develops , manages, and monitors Tribal Integrated Waste Management Plan

- Produces and updates outreach material

- Provides and updates resources for waste management to post on the CTCLUSI website

Tribal Police

- Enforcement and investigation of issues related to illegal dumping on Tribal lands

- Resource for Tribal members to contact regarding inappropriate waste disposal, illegal

burning activities, and pharmaceutical disposal.

Needs

To expand and grow waste management it may be necessary to seek out funding to assist personnel costs or

provide additional services.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND FUNDING

The major costs associated with managing waste include14:

Program Planning

Funding is needed to assist with implementation of the Tribal Integrated Waste Management Plan. Initial

implementation costs include: wages for staff associated with waste management; production of outreach

material; contracting services for waste collection or disposal to name a few.

Funding Assistance

There are two primary sources of funding for implementation of waste management through the Tribal

Integrated Waste Management Plan.





Indirect or tribal general funds

Grants or loans from state or federal agencies (or private organizations that provide grants to Indian

tribes for waste and other environmental programs).15 See Appendix

CTCLUSI should speak directly with regional agency representatives from EPA, HIS, BIA, USDA, and HUD to

inquire and secure funding for waste management projects. In many cases, talking with other tribes may

provide additional resources for implementation of the Tribal Waste management Plan or expansion of

current waste management techniques.

Waste Reduction & Reuse

Reduce What You Use – Waste Reduction is the number one priority in the solid

waste industry. It is better and less expensive to not generate the waste in the first place

than to have to recycle or dispose of it afterwards. Following is information and some

resources available to help you reduce the amount of waste you create.

Every year, the average American buys 440 pounds of packaging, and then just throws it

away. Buy products with less packaging (like bulk items, larger sizes, and concentrated

liquids) and fill smaller, reusable containers.

Stop Junk Mail – Almost half of all junk mail is never opened. The average household

receives 675 pieces of junk mail a year. Even if you recycle it all, there are still

enormous environmental costs in the terms of ink, energy to produce, and deliver and

recycle the paper. If you want to stop you name from being sold to large mailing list

companies, write to the following companies:

Mail Preference Service

Direct Marketing Association

PO Box 9008

Farmingdale, NY 11735-9008

Hill-Donnelly Marketing

PO Box 14417

Tampa, FL 33690

MetroMail Corporation

901 West Bond

Lincoln, NE 78521

Reuse manila envelopes, shipping boxes, packaging “peanuts” and bubble wrap.

Borrow or Rent:

Do you really need to own something you hardly ever use? Ask a

friend or look in the Yellow Pages under Rentals. Also, contact your Coos County

libraries for books, magazines, audio and video tapes.

Re-Bag: It is simply less wasteful to reuse grocery bags than to get a new one with each

store you visit. Think about how many bags you use and how briefly each is actually in

use. Save paper and plastic bags and bring with you to the market each time you go

shopping. Also you can invest in cloth or plastic shopping bags that are made specifically

for reuse.

Computer & Office: Proof read documents on the computer screen before printing,

recharge printer cartridges, print double sided and in draft mode whenever possible to

reduce paper and ink usage

Landscaping: Choose a landscape design that needs low maintenance and little water.

Grass cycling – use a mulching mower which leaves grass clippings to naturally

decompose. Grass clippings no longer need to be bagged and hauled away. Compost

grass clippings and leaves into a valuable soil amendment or make sure you landscape

contractor composts. Use a worm bin to convert non-fatty food wastes into high quality

potting soil.

Instead of paper, use cloth towels, tablecloths and napkins

Give old magazines to libraries, hospitals, clinics or nursing homes

Turn used lumber into birdhouses, mailboxes, compost bins and other woodworking

projects

In addition to reducing the amount of materials in the solid waste stream, reducing waste

toxicity is another important component of source reduction. Some jobs around the home

may require the use of products containing hazardous components. Nevertheless, toxicity

reduction can be achieved by following some simple guidelines. Take actions that use

nonhazardous or less hazardous components to accomplish the task at hand. Instead of

using pesticides, for example, plant marigolds in your garden to ward off certain pests. In

some cases, you may be using less toxic chemicals to do a job and in others you may use

some physical method, such as sandpaper, scouring pads, or just a little more elbow

grease, to achieve the same results.

Waste Prevention

Want to trash less?

It’s as easy as Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

Reduce What You Use

Don’t Buy Trash

Every year, the average American buys 440 pounds of packaging...then just

throws it away! Buy products with less packaging (like bulk items, larger sizes and

concentrated liquids) and fill smaller, reusable containers.

Think Local First

Buying local goods is almost always a waste saver.

Stop Junk Mail

Almost half of all junk mail is never even opened! If you want

to stop your name from being sold to large mailing list

companies, contact to the following companies:

Mail Preference Service or Direct Marketing Association

MetroMail Corporation

Businesses looking to reduce their unwanted mail can find helpful steps at the

National Waste Prevention Coalition and StopJunkMail.org.

Borrow Or Rent

Do you really need to own something you hardly ever use? Ask a friend, or look in

the Yellow Pages under Rentals. And don’t forget Douglas County’s great libraries

for books, magazines, audio and video tapes.

Use Both Sides

Why trash (or even recycle) a piece of paper if only one side’s been used? The flip

side is perfect for scrap paper.

Bag And Re-bag

The best grocery bags are reusable ones you bring with you. Some stores even

give you a discount of $.02-.05 per reused bag.

Choose Recycled

Products and packaging too. More post-consumer content means fewer raw

materials were used and more energy was saved. But look closely. Products

labeled as "recyclable" aren’t necessarily recycled.

Get Into The Trash-less Habit

Start small. (Every little bit helps and you can build from there.) Share handy

hints with others. Think before you toss.

Reuse What You Can

Pass It On

Used doesn't mean useless. Call your Douglas County Waste Manager for a list of

folks who can give your old computer or plastic packaging & peanuts new life.

Have something you think someone else can use? Check out our Materials

Exchange.

Use Your Imagination

Before you recycle or trash something, think... "Can I use it again for the same

thing or maybe for something else?

Make It Last

Maintain and repair products instead of replacing them. Newer isn't necessarily

better.

Charge It

Americans buy and trash 2 billion batteries a year. The solution? No, not pink

bunnies. Rechargeables!

Refill It

Choose reuseables over disposables. And reuse disposables if you can. Companies

can reload single-use cameras and printer cartridges and they're cheaper.

Stuff It

Used jars, tubs, buckets, cans and bags make great containers. And, used

cardboard boxes and plastic peanuts are ready-made for your own shipments.

Give It Away

Your "trash" could be someone else's treasure, Donate used books, clothing,

furniture, house wares, hardware, bikes and appliances. Or, have a yard sale!

Rip It Up

If your used clothes are too worn to give away, tear them up for rags. And use

other scrap materials for crafts and kid's projects.

Composting Guides

Composting

Do something good for the earth. Put yard and food waste back where it belongs.

How Does Composting Work?

Thanks to simple decomposition, nature "recycles" plant wastes into a rich soil additive

called compost. It is a dark, crumbly soil-like material that can be used as a mulch, top

dressing or soil amendment. Like good cooking, composting is part science, part art.

Even the first-time composter can make good quality compost. Without getting too

technical, here's a review of what's involved.

Materials

Anything that was once alive will naturally decompose. However, some organic wastes

should not be composted at home:

DO Compost These Items:

DO NOT Compost These Items:

Grass clippings

Leaves

Flowers

Old plants

Old potting soil

Twigs

Annual weeds

Vegetable scraps

Coffee filters

Tea bags

Diseased plants

Weeds with seeds

Invasive weeds (like quack grass &

morning glory)

Bread and grains

Meat or fish parts

Dairy products

Grease, oil, or oily foods

Biology

Bacteria start the process of decaying organic matter. They are the first to break down

plant tissue and also the most numerous and effective composters. Fungi and protozoans

soon join the bacteria and, somewhat later in the cycle, centipedes, millipedes, beetles,

and worms finish what the bacteria started.

Surface Area

If the microbes have more surface areas to feed on, the materials will break down faster.

It's like a block of ice in the sun...slow to break down when it's large, but break into

smaller pieces and it melts quickly. Chopping your garden debris with a machete, or

using a chipper/shredded or lawnmower to shred materials will help them decompose

faster.

Time & Temperature

The most efficient decomposing bacteria thrive in temperatures between 110 and 160

degrees F. Thus, the hotter the pile, the faster the decomposing. If you achieve a good

balance of carbon and nitrogen, provide lots of surface area within a large volume of

material, and maintain adequate moisture and aeration, the temperature will rise over

several days.

Composting

Volume

A large compost pile will insulate itself, trapping the heat generated by microbial activity.

A 3' by 3' by 3' pile (1 cubic yard) is considered minimum size for hot, fast composting.

Piles wider or taller than 5 feet don't allow enough air to reach the microbes at the center.

Moisture & Aeration

Most life on earth needs a certain amount of water and air to survive. The microbes in the

compost pile function best where the materials are as damp as a wrung out sponge and

have many air passages. Extremes of sun or rain can adversely affect the balance of air

and moisture in your pile. The air in the pile is usually used up faster than the moisture,

so the materials must be "turned" or mixed up occasionally to add air that will sustain

high temperatures and control odor.

All organic materials contain carbon and nitrogen in varying ratios (C:N). Carbon in

brown leaves and woody wastes provides energy, while nitrogen in green grass and

vegetable scraps provides protein for cell development. A C:N ration of 30:1 is

considered ideal for composting. This balance can be achieved by mixing roughly two

parts grass clippings (C:N=2:1) with one part brown leaves (C:N=60:1). Making layers of

green and brown materials can be useful in arriving at these proportions, but a complete

mixing of ingredients is preferable for composting. Though a C:N ration of 30:1 is ideal

for hot, fast composting, higher ratios (with more carbon materials) will work adequately

for slower composting.

Composting

Why Compost?

The 4 “R’s” Of The Yard

Composting is nature’s way of recycling. It is a

satisfying way to turn your fruit, vegetable and

yard trimmings into a dark, crumbly, sweetsmelling soil conditioner.

REDUCE the amount of yard trimmings

Composting:

•

•

•

•

Saves you money by lowering garbage

bills and replacing store-bought soil

conditioners.

Helps garden and house plants by improving

the fertility and health of your soil.

Saves water by

helping the soil

hold moisture

and reducing

water runoff.

Benefits the

environment by

recycling valuable

organic resources and extending the life of

our landfill.

Compost Works For You

In Yard and Garden

Turn your

garbage into

gardener’s gold!

It’s easy, it’s smart,

it’s recycling.

Compost adds nutrients and beneficial

microbes, holds water, and improves plant

growth. Mix compost into annual garden beds

at least once a year, Spread a 1” to 6” layer of

compost over the soil as a mulch, or spread

sifted, weed-seed free compost on turfgrass as a

top dressing.

you make by planting slow-growing, drought

tolerant plants.

REUSE yard trimmings by grasscycling

(mowing more often, and leaving the clippings

on the lawn) and by mulching fallen leaves and

chipped prunings (spread them 6” deep on

paths and around trees and shrubs).

RECYCLE remaining yard trimmings by

composting. This brochure shows you how.

RESTORE the environment with thriving

gardens. It all starts at home!

Grasscycling

Go Bagless! Leaving grass clippings

where they lie contributes enough organic

matter and nitrogen to your lawn that

fertilization needs are reduced by about

25% per year.

Keys to effective grasscycling:

•

•

On House Plants

Sprinkle over house-plant soil to provide

nutrients or make a great potting soil by mixing

one part compost with two parts sand and/or

soil.

•

Don’t Have A Garden?

Lane County Public Works

Waste Management Division

You can still make compost. Use it on a house

plant, give it to a friend, sprinkle it around a

street tree, or use it in a community garden.

•

Remove only one third of the grass

height each time you mow, this not

only reduces the size of the clippings,

it is also less stressful on the grass.

Consistent, regular

mowing reduces the

chances of weeds

going to seed and

being disbursed

naturally in your

yard. Never let the

grass get over 3”

tall.

Using a sharp blade

makes clean cuts,

thus reducing the chance for lawn

diseases and pests.

Only mow when the grass is dry.

•

Thanks to friendly bugs and worms,

composting is as easy as “1-2-3”—no matter

which compost system you use!

Open Piles & Simple Bins are ideal for

yard trimmings ONLY.

•

Food waste additions require “Active”

composting with weekly turning to keep

animals out.

Or use a rodent-proof container with lid;

and a floor made of hardware cloth —

holes no bigger than 1/4”.

Systems For Just Food Waste

Worm Bins

•

•

•

Produces excellent fertilizer

For indoors or outdoors

Most fun! Takes some time and effort

to separate worms from finished

fertilizer if using simple bins.

1. CHOP materials into 6” pieces or

smaller if you want them to break down

more quickly.

2. MIX enough “browns” (dry, woody

materials) with “greens” (moist, green

materials) to create a good balance,

water as needed. Add materials as often

as you like.

3. MAINTAIN air and water balance by

keeping compost as moist as a wrungout sponge. Browns, Greens, Air and

Water are the “big four” that will keep

every compost pile happy. “Active”

maintenance, turning once per week

prevents animal nesting and feeding.

Harvest rich, brown, finished compost by

sifting out coarse, unfinished materials after

3 to 8 months

Hot Compost Happens when you follow

the basic “1-2-3” carefully, and the pile is about

a cubic yard (3’x3’x3’) or more.

Placing your bin in the sun does not create hot

composting, biological activity does. Biological

activity produces heat, this accelerates

composting and kills weed seeds and plant

diseases but is not necessary. Cold, slow

piles are fine but will not kill weed seeds or

pathogens. If your pile is large enough, moist,

and well chopped, but not heating up, you

can turn it and mix in some greens like grass

clippings or an organic nitrogen fertilizer. For

faster hot composting and better weed-seed

kill, turn or mix your hot pile about once a

week or so.

REMEMBER...Composting fruit and vegetable

wastes should be done in a rodent-resistant

system. Use a container with a secure lid, a

solid or mesh floor, and no holes bigger than

1/4 inch.

What is Household

Hazardous Waste?

Many common household products contain hazardous

ingredients that can be dangerous to children, pets and

others. When they become wastes, these products can

pollute ground water and streams if they aren’t properly

handled.

Common household hazardous wastes include oil-based

paints, stains, thinners and strippers, solvents, fuels and

other automotive fluids, corrosive cleaners, lawn and

garden chemicals, pool chemicals, fluorescent lights,

ballasts and car care products. Look at labels for words

like Caution, Danger, Flammable, Combustible, Corrosive,

Caustic, Warning, Toxic, and Poison.

Empty containers and dried latex paint should be thrown

into the trash.

Five Steps to Protect

Your Family’s Health and

the Environment

1. Avoid Household products marked “Danger”.

Look for the word “danger” on cleaners, polishes,

paint strippers, and pesticides. “Danger” means the

product could poison you, cause serious damage to

your skin or eyes, or easily cause a fire.

• Choose products marked “caution” or “warning”, or

better yet, products that don’t need warnings.

• Choose water-based products, such as latex paint,

white glue and water-based paint stripper.

2. Reduce your need for yard and garden pesticides.

Pesticides are poisons. Besides killing bugs and

weeds, they may also poison children, irritate eyes or

skin, cause cancer or kill birds and fish.

• Build healthy soil by adding compost or aged

manure and using slow-release organic fertilizers.

• Buy plants that will grow well in this climate and in

your yard—they use less water and pesticides.

• Try alternative products to control pests, such as

Teflon tape for foot weevils or soap and water

solution for aphids.

Got Old Paint?

Latex paint is not a hazardous waste.

Reduce leftover paint by buying only

what you need, and using what you

buy. If applying a second coat doesn’t

use up leftover paint, see if friends

and neighbors can use it. If your

latex paint can is less than a quarter

full, solidify it by adding saw dust, cat litter, or other dry

material, then throw it in the trash. Otherwise, if the latex

paint can is more than a quarter full we will recycle the

material.

PaintCare Program

Collection Program for House Paint

PaintCare is a new statewide collection program that

collects household paint only. Latex and oil base

containers must be 5 gallons or less. House paint only.

Cans must have labels and lids, no rusty containers. No

aerosol spray cans.

Chemical Cleaning & Gardening Products Can be

Dangerous…And Expensive!

Many everyday household products contain hazardous

chemicals. When you dispose of these products in the

storm drain, sink or garbage, the chemicals can end up in

local water bodies or groundwater.

Make your own organic pesticides with

these unique bug-buster recipes.

This list of alternatives is provided to help you make

responsible decisions about the safe use and disposal

of household products. By trying some or all of the

alternatives, you will help Lane County move toward a

goal of hazard-less waste.

Stop the slugs with soapy water. Use your old, dirty

dishwater by pouring it over the plants. This works

really well on hostas and mums, but also can be used

on other hardy plants. For a stronger solution, mix 3

tablespoons of liquid detergent into a gallon of water.

Use this weekly.

Make your own Greener Cleaner Kit with

these few supplies:

Garlic Spray:

Try these simple greener cleaners:

3. Recycle used motor oil, oil filters and antifreeze. Used

motor oil and antifreeze should never be placed in

storm drains. Water from storm drains is not treated

and oil could end up in our streams and lakes,

threatening fish and birds. Used motor oil, oil filters

and antifreeze are accepted at most Lane County

transfer stations.

Forrest Paint, 990 McKinley St, 541-868-1222

4. Use less-toxic cleaners. Some cleaners contain very

hazardous ingredients that can burn your eyes, skin

or lungs. Look for safer name-brand substitutes at

your local grocery store, or use simple alternatives.

There are many everyday household products we all

keep on hand that can be used for cleaning without

doing damage to the environment, such as; water,

vinegar, baking soda, borax, mineral oil, newspapers,

and rags.

Collection Center at the Glenwood Transfer Station.

Tub and tile cleaner:

Use vinegar (full strength) on a

sponge, then use baking soda

as a scouring powder. Rinse

well.

Soap Spray:

Slugs must not like eating Italian.

1 garlic bulb

1 quart of water

1 medium onion

1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon liquid dish soap

Crush the garlic, mincing it fine. Add finely chopped

onion to the mixture, while adding the rest of the

ingredients except the soap. Wait an hour before

adding the soap to the mixture. The spicy ingredients

must sort of stew or steep, almost like tea. After an

hour, add the soap and your non-toxic spray is ready

to use! This can be stored in the fridge for a week.

Spearmint-Hot Pepper-Horseradish Spray:

This works on many different kinds of bugs.

1/2 cup of red peppers (hot)

fresh water

1/2 cup of fresh spearmint

1/2 cup horseradish (root and leaves)

1/2 cup green onion tops

2 tablespoons of liquid detergent

Mix all of the spearmint leaves, horseradish, onion tops

and peppers together with enough water to cover

everything. Strain and save the infused water. Add a

half-gallon of fresh water and the detergent to the

infused water. To use this solution, mix 1/2 gallon of

this solution with 1/2 gallon of water. You can use this

to spray almost any plant safely. Store this mixture for a

few days in a cool environment.

Press Release

Effective August 30, 2013 the Joe Ney Landfill will no longer be open to the public for

disposal of construction and demolition debris. Coos County will accept the debris at the

Beaver Hill Transfer Station on Highway 101 and then have it transported to a landfill

out of county for disposal.

The Beaver Hill site is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.

In April of 2013 the fee for Construction/Demolition debris was set by the Coos County

Board of Commissioners as follows: $20.50 @ LCY (loose cubic yard) or $87.27 @ ton

if charged by the weight. The Construction/Demolition Debris will be charged for by the

loose cubic yard or on its weight, whichever results in the higher gross revenue to the

County.

Please remember that the County still has a disposal fee for clean wood and brush at

$6.00 LCY so it may be advantageous for you to take the time to separate your materials.

•

•

•

Department of Agriculture (USDA)

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

Some federal agencies offer financial assistance to tribes for waste management projects. Most of the

grants and loans available provide money for planning, outreach and education, construction, or

equipment purchase. A few grant programs allow funds to be used for program or facility operation and

maintenance.

Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) – Database of all federal assistance programs including

grants and loan programs. Available to state, local, and tribal governments. After identifying potential

sources of funding through CFDA, tribes should then go directly to the funding agencies for application

USDA Rural Development Solid Waste Management Grants – Helps applicants to reduce or eliminate

pollution of water resources and improve planning of management of their solid waste sites. For further

information, go to http://www.rurdev.usda.gov. Interested tribes may submit a pre‐application using

form SF 424.1, “Application for Federal Assistance (non‐construction), between October 1 and December

31, to the USDA Office in your state or the USDA, Rural Development National Office in Washington, D.C.

Bureau of Indian Affairs Guarantee Loans ‐ The program was established by the Indian Financing Act of

1974 to stimulate and increase Indian entrepreneurship and employment through establishment,

acquisition or expansion of Indian‐owned economic enterprises. Loans may be made to finance Indian‐

owned businesses organized for profit, provided that eligible Indian ownership constitutes not less than

51 percent of the business. For further information, go to http://www.doi.gov/bureau‐indian‐

affairs.html.

Indian Health Services, Tribal Management Grant Program – Assist federally‐recognized tribes and tribally‐

sanctioned Tribal organizations in assuming all or part of existing IHS programs, services, functions, and

activities through a Title I contract and to assist established Title I contractors and Title V compactors to

2 REUSE

WHAT

YOU

CAN

USE YOUR IMAGINATION! Before you recycle or trash

something, think — “Can I use it again for the same thing,

or maybe for something else?”

MAKE IT LAST! Maintain and repair products instead of

replacing them. Newer isn’t necessarily better.

CHARGE IT! Americans buy and trash 2 billion batteries

a year. The solution? No, not pink bunnies. Rechargeables!

REFILL IT! Choose reusables over disposables, and reuse

disposables if you can — companies can reload single-use

toner and printer cartridges, and they are cheaper.

REBUILD IT! Buy quality used building materials for your next

home project from Heartwood ReSources (541-679-1777).

GIVE IT AWAY! All kinds of folks in Douglas County are

looking for your used items — computers, clothing, books,

videotapes, batteries, cell phones, electronics, CDs, bubble

wrap, furniture and household items, packing peanuts,

eyeglasses and much more. Check out the “Materials

Exchange” page at www.recyclepower.org for details,

and visit www.freecycle.org to join a community exchange!

RIP IT UP! If your used clothes are too worn or stained

to give away, tear them up for rags. You can use other scrap

materials for creative craft projects.

GET OLD! When a used product will do, why buy new?

When you’ve REDUCED and REUSED

as much as you can, it’s finally time to . . .

It is against State Law to

put the following items

in the garbage: Motor

Oil, Lead-acid Batteries,

Appliances, Auto Tires,

Computers, Laptops and

Televisions.

Tips for Self

Haulers

If you’re coming in to one of

our transfer stations, keep

these tips in mind:

• Load your vehicle garbage

first and recycling last so

you can easily drop off

recyclables first and get

the $1 credit slip before

you dump.

• Cover your load. If you

show up at our sites with

an uncovered load, your

fees could double. This

is to keep our roadsides

free of litter.

• Garbage costs money to

dispose of. Reduce, Reuse

& Recycle at home so you

have less garbage when

you get here.

• Pesticides, chemical

cleaners, glues, and

solvents are dangerous

in the trash, Call

541-682-3111 to make a

free disposal appointment

or to learn about annual

rural collection days.

Plastics

Recycling

Plastics: Numbers alone

don’t work to determine

recycleability.

If it’s not a BOTTLE,

TUB, JAR OR JUG,

then it’s NOT

recyclable in mixed

plastic collections.

The Recycle Symbol

does NOT indicate

that an item is

recyclable in your area.

(This includes curbside collections,

contact your hauler for details)

The value of plastics recycling is growing,

but not all plastic can be recycled. Please

help recycle more by following the

guidelines:

• Identify if it is a bottle, tub, jar or jug shape. If

it is NOT one of these shapes, look for a recycler

under “Where to Take Other Plastics” in this

brochure, or toss it in the garbage.

The value of plastics

recycling is growing by leaps

and bounds but not all

plastic can be set out at the

curb. One-third of all plastics

put in recycling bins are

not recyclable curbside.

Please help recycle

more by following

the guidelines

inside.

Recycling Plastic in Lane County

Why Only Bottles,Tubs, Jars and Jugs?

The chasing arrows numbering system for

plastic containers was introduced over 20

years ago to help recyclers sort plastics by

their main ingredient (resin) type, which is

necessary to recycle it.

Each number represents a different type of

plastic resin. Plastic resin is only recyclable IF

it is desired by a manufacturer who can

re-use it to make new products.

The number system worked

well for many years. Until, that is,

manufacturers began inventing

so many new ways to change and

shape plastics into new packaging

options.

The science and mechanics

of shaping plastic resins into

product shapes are such that once a resin is

manipulated into a shape it is changed forever

and it cannot be combined with other shapes

to be recycled, even if the resin is the same!

(Much like a fried egg cannot be recycled into

a hard-boiled egg).

So the numbers alone are not enough—

shape is now important to describe what

can and cannot be recycled.

Here’s an example: PET #1 plastic resin is

made into water bottles by heating it to high

temperatures and injection molding it. But

the same resin can be melted to a lower

temperature in the thermoforming process

to make a tray. These two plastic items are

made from the same base resin (#1 PET) but

are not both equally recyclable because the

different shaping processes create different

plastic. Many manufacturers will pay for #1

bottles to make new products, but very few

are willing to pay for #1 trays at this time.

Manufacturers need very large quantities of

a single material in a consistent supply to

make their products. In order to supply this,

recyclers can use sorting systems to separate

resin types, IF the material is the correct

shape. When plastic trays contaminate the

bottles that a manufacturer purchases as

their raw material, their products will have

flaws and will not be marketable.

1 - PET/PETE (polyethylene terephthalate)

Beverage bottles, jars, food trays,

2 - HDPE (high density polyethylene)

Milk jugs, bottles, yogurt tubs, grocery bags.

3 - V (Vinyl) or PVC

Cooking oil bottles, meat wrap, window, pipe, cables.

4 - LDPE (low density polyethylene)

6 - PS (polystyrene) Can be foamed or rigid

Meat trays, egg cartons, cups, CD cases, desk organizers.

7 – OTHER (this is for All other materials &

combinations), compostable, PLA, tennis ball tubes.

Compostable Plastics are NOT Recyclable.

If your container has a #7 or the PLA marking, it should NOT

be recycled with any plastic recycling program listed here—

regardless of its shape.

This new type of plastic may have composting options when

delivered to a commercial compost facility, but it is a terrible

contaminant to recycling other plastics.
