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)  General location of rural areas (north, south, east and west) Land use on CTCLUSI Tribal land (also see map next page) Land use Casino/Revenue Cultural use/ Lots Tribal parcel CTCLUSI Offices Hatch, Ocean Dunes Empire (Tribal Hall and Tribal Community Center), Baldich, Flanagan Pioneer Cemetery, Drew Cemetery, Munsel Lake, Miluk Villlage, Kentuck way, Eason, Sixes River, Brainard, Severy, CTCLUSI Administration Offices (Elks), Florence Outreach office (Windward), Residential Use California and Connecticut (Qaxas), Hatch (Kaich) Industrial/ Mixed Use/Other Alishanee, Kentuck Slough, Coos Head Note: Table 1-3 is not a comprehensive list. A comprehensive list may be sought through the CTCLUSI through the Department of Natural Resources’ Realty Program. Chapter 2 Waste Characterization TRIBAL POPULATION The total population of CTCLUSI in 2013 is 1051 based on current enrollment records. The table below indicates the breakdown of the current population residing on the identified land use. Adult Population and Land Use TOTAL ENROLLMENT (ADULTS) TRIBAL HOUSING 727 35 NEAR TO SERVICES* ADMIN NOT DEFINED 294 398 *near to administration services is defined as adults residing in Lane (134), Coos (136), or Douglas (24) counties 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. Population and Solid Waste Generation Projections YEAR POPULATION ESTIMATED WASTE GENERATED ANNUALLY (LB) 2013 727 1,167,562 1 http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/nonhaz/municipal/index.htm Chapter 3 Waste Systems Available 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 EXISTING FACILITIES FOR GARBAGE AND RECYCLING IN COOS, DOUGLAS, AND LANE COUNTIES Transfer Stations and Landfills near to Tribal Lands Coos County (See Appendix B-1)  Transfer Stations - Beaver Hill Disposal Site and West Coast Recycling and Transfer Station (private business)  Landfill - Beaver Hill Disposal Site Douglas County (See Appendix B-2)  Transfer Stations - Roseburg. Glide, Reedsport, Canyonville, Myrtle Creek, Yoncalla, Glendale, camas Valley, Elkton, and Tiller  Landfill - Roseburg Landfill Lane County (See Appendix B-3)  Transfer Stations - Cottage Grove, Creswell, Florence, London, Low Pass, Mapleton, Marcola, McKenzie Bridge, Oakridge, Rattlesnake, Sharps Creek, Swisshome, Veneta, Vida, Walton  Landfill - Short Mountain Transfer Facilities Coos, Douglas, and Lane county transfer stations have recycling facilities on the premises. A general list of permitted and non-permissible recyclables is listed in Chapter 4 table 4-1. Use Table 4-1 as a guide and please contact your local Transfer station to confirm if an item is recyclable (please see the Appendix listed above for phone or location information) For more info on recycling in the five county Tribal service areas see Chapter 4 or see the url below County Coos county Douglas county Lane county Lincoln county Curry county Other counties in OR url____________________________________________________________ http://www.co.coos.or.us/Departments/SolidWaste.aspx http://www.recyclepower.org/default.asp http://www.lanecounty.org/DEPARTMENTS/PW/WMD/Pages/default.aspx http://www.co.lincoln.or.us/solidwaste/ no url available at this time http://www.deq.state.or.us/lq/sw/contacts.htm 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 Existing CTCLUSI Waste Management collection: Administration & Outreach Housing $ 9400 annual estimate2 $ 9050 annual estimate3 *Expansion of CTCLUSI Waste Management: Collection events $ 8000 annually4 Natural Resource $ 2000 annually5 Maintenance $ 2400 annually6 Enforcement $ 2000 annually7 *Expansion of CTCLUSI Waste Management can be assessed based on availability funding through grants or the Tribal General Fund. Decisions about what materials to collect, as well as the costs and methods to collect, transport, and ultimately dispose of waste materials are all interrelated. 2 Approximate; taken from 2014 draft budget 3 Information from Tribal housing department 2013 4 No collection events currently take place.

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: TIERED DESIGNATION OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALS TIER 1: READILY AVALIABLE Comingled Recyclables9 Glass Corrugated Cardboard Yard Debris See Table 4-2 TIER 2: LIMITED RECYCLING Large metal Ferrous Metals Motor Oil Vehicle Batteries Tires See Table 4-2 TIER 3: LIMITED RECYCLING AVALIABLE Non-Vehicle Batteries Styrofoam See Table 4-2 Permitted and non-permissible recyclables is listed in Table 4-2 and 4-3. Use the tables as a guide and please contact your local Transfer station OR check the recycling appendix to confirm if an item is recyclable.

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. 10 http://www.deq.state.or.us/aq/burning/openburning/openburn.asp 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 13 Examples of education and outreach methods 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 Facility design and construction Equipment purchases Cleanup Operation and maintenance Personnel training and administration Landfill closure and post-closure care 14 USEPA Tribal Decision-Maker’s Guide to Solid Waste Management 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. 15 See the USEPA’s , Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response document: Grant Resources for Solid Waste Activity in Indian Country, Acknowledgements: This Tribal Integrate Waste Management Plan was adapted from a template developed by the Tribal Solid Waste Advisory Network (TSWAN) to suit the current needs of CTCLUSI. As TSWAN members, CTCLUSI is grateful for the resources, training and guidance that TSWAN has and continues to provide for CTCLUSI.

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 List Maintenance 901 West Bond Lincoln, Nebraska 68521 ADVO A major direct mailer will remove your name from their lists. Fill out the form and mail it to them. To stop receiving credit card offers in the mail; call 1-888-5 OPT OUT (1-888-567-8688) One call reaches these agencies: Equifax, Trans Union, Experian, and Innovis To reduce unwanted catalog mailings; send full name, including middle initial, and your current address to: Abacus PO Box 1478 Broomfield, CO 80038 - or email: optout@abacus-direct.com 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.

Information updated 6/2012 06/2012 Appendix D 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. Recycler’s Guide to Lane County Public Works Waste Management Division 3100 East 17th Avenue Eugene, OR 97403 Basic 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”. • The Earth Machine from BRING Recycling A local low cost example of commercially available composters.Visit or call BRING: www.bringrecycling.org Remember: Don’t compost meat, bones, fish, dairy products or grease. 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 The Worm Box — A self-harvesting system Only $42 (plus shipping) with Lane County Discount! Let nature turn your food scraps and yard trimmings into great garden soil. The Worm Box is perfect for garage, kitchen or outside use. To order visit: www.CreateCompost.com and enter your zip code. Select the purchase option without worms and go to: www.lanecounty.org/compost for a list of local worm retailers and information on how to keep the worms working for you. 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.

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.

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. Participating retail locations:(refer to www.paintcare.org for easy access to most current list): Eugene 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: • • • • • • • baking soda borax toothpaste liquid soap club soda baby oil margarine • • • • • • • 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. Cascade Home Centers, 49 S 6th St, 541-942-1301 1/2 cup vinegar in 1 quart warm water, wipe with crumpled newspaper or clean cloth. Creswell All purpose spray: 5. Dispose of leftover hazardous products properly. Careless disposal of hazardous household products can pollute the environment.

If you have oil-based paint and stain that is not accepted at PaintCare locations, please note that it is hazardous waste and is accepted at the Household Hazardous Waste 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. 10 /2013 Coos County Solid Waste Department Mailing Address Delivery Address Coos County Courthouse Beaver Hill Disposal Site 250 N.

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.
