INTRODUCTIONWe live in a place where people care—aboutprotecting the environment, conserving resources,keeping people healthy and ensuring that everyonehas what they need to thrive.There’s a strong connection between our ability to achieve thesevalues and our decisions about managing waste, especially when wethink beyond garbage trucks and recycling bins.Our regional waste system is more than recycling services andgarbage facilities. It encompasses the entire life of the products weuse, from design to production to use, until they go to a recycler, landfillor thrift store. Garbage, recycling and related sectors make up asignificant part of the Portland region’s economy, employing thousandsof people and generating more than 537 million in economic activityeach year. Garbage and recycling have a substantial impact on theenvironment, too: the products we purchase, use and throw away areresponsible for more than 35 percent of the region’s greenhouse gasemissions that come from consumption activities.Over the years, a collaborative approach to planning for the futurehas helped make greater Portland one of the most livable areas of thecountry. The 2030 Regional Waste Plan continues that tradition—andbuilds on it, with a focus on equity, health and the environment.Everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of our growing region.Currently, not everyone can. A long history of discrimination in law,policy and practices has left communities of color out of the economicbenefits of the garbage and recycling system while burdening themwith disproportionate harmful impacts. In contrast to past planningefforts, this plan acknowledges racial equity as the backbone of goodgovernance, addressing disparities that people of color experiencerelated to Metro’s policies, programs and services.Equity shows up throughout this plan, from the community-drivenprocess that created it to the goals and actions designed to correctpast wrongs and build a more inclusive future.At a time when climate change and pollution are threatening peopleand the environment, we must grapple with the fact that these globalproblems are linked to our patterns of consumption and our growingdemands for materials. The products we produce, purchase, use andthrow away have impacts locally and globally, and not just when wedispose of them.2030 Regional Waste Plan 5
The plan is a policy document that sets direction across the 12 years the plan will be in effect. Theplan’s goals and actions provide specific guidance for reducing the impacts of products throughouttheir lives, during design and manufacture, when we buy and use them and when we throw themaway. The plan also provides direction for ensuring the region’s garbage and recycling system isresilient and prepared to recover quickly after a disaster.As the regional solid waste authority, Metro has the responsibility to ensure that all solidwaste generated in the region is managed in a manner that protects public health and safetyand safeguards the environment. All programs, services and facilities related to solid wastemanagement and disposal are addressed by the plan, including waste reduction, collection,transfer and disposal. This plan is designed to address the changes and challenges we face and toprovide opportunities to innovate, invest and continue our efforts to protect people and quality oflife in the region.WASHINGTONVa n c o u v e rLakeColuMULT NOM AHWASH INGTO NIn collaboration with city, county, state, community and business leaders, Metro will use the 2030Regional Waste Plan as greater Portland’s blueprint to respond to the complex and interrelatedchallenges we face.mbiaRivMarerineDrVancouverStdanrtlSt JohnsWerHollywoodC o r nell leyClackamasOakGroveSunnysi de RdDamascusBoringJohnson CityClackam asGladstoneStafforddRive rDrCarverC l a ckBartonamasWillametteerWestLinnOregonCityRe d landRdCanemahSprCounty boundaryaingwYAMHI L Lillveette RirWilsonville RdCL ACKAM ASMARIONMARIONRdterWamCL ACKAM ASWilsonville6 MetrodyivUrbanGrowth BoundaryanRSherwoodBorlandGreshamFoster RdCLACK AMASRValley RdNorthTualatinStark StPowell BlvdMULTNOMA HesonBoLake GroveRivergroveWASH INGTO NrificPacyHwDurhamerWoodVillageRockwoodDivision StHillsdaleLakeOswegoivnKingCityFairviewRriet i n RiveYAMHIL LalaTigardaTroutdaleOTuWASHING TONRdGatewaybiLentsryMurray/Schollsolls Fer r ySchColumSandy BlvdMaywoodParkBurnside StwyWashingtonSquareWest Portlandll BlvdWASH INGTO NdFarm ing ton RHaRaleigh HillsCL ACKA M ASMurray BlvdRive r RdFarmingtonRdonCany Beaverto n Hillsdale HBeavertonNaito PkwyAlohaAlohaPortlandSunsetCedarHillsr185th Avein RiveCedarMillHillsboroHillsboro H wylativrtWayParkroseSaTuCorneliusC o rnell R dRHpo242nd AveOakHillsOrencoteMAAir122nd rstate AveBethany82nd AveliunelarCoilWestUnionCLARKMULT NOPods P assRds RdlenHeROREGON0Miles10
INTRODUCTIONNavigatingthe planValues, principles and vision (page 42)The foundation of the plan, the values, principles and vision willguide how Metro and our partners manage and improve the garbageand recycling system.Goals and actions (page 48)The 19 specific goals and 108 related actions will enable the regionto achieve its vision by 2030. The goals and actions are grouped intofive categories:Shared prosperityProduct design and manufacturingProduct use and consumptionProduct end-of-life managementDisaster resilienceMeasuring progress (page 102)Specific indicators will be used to measure progress over time.Implementation (page 108)Metro is responsible for coordinating and participating in variousefforts to implement the plan and assess its performance. Severalapproaches will be used to implement the actions of the plan. Eachaction is assigned a lead agency—the primary entity responsible forimplementation and reporting progress.2030 Regional Waste Plan 7
DefinitionsThe plan: The entire 2030 Regional Waste Plan.Life cycle system: The multiple interconnected stages of a product’s life,from raw material extraction to design and production to recycling intosomething new, and the impacts the product has at each stage of its life.Garbage and recycling system: All the programs, services and facilitiesthat enable residents and businesses to safely, and with the highestenvironmental benefit, get rid of their discarded items when they nolonger have use for them. Metro, cities and counties oversee and managegarbage, recycling and composting services. The system also includesorganizations and businesses that provide donation, reuse and repairservices to reduce the amount of materials going to the landfills.From Metro’s Strategic Plan to Advance Racial Equity, Diversityand Inclusion:Racial equity: When race can no longer be used to predict life outcomes,and outcomes for all groups are improved.Historically marginalized: Groups that have been denied access and/orsuffered past institutional discrimination in the United States.Inclusion: The degree to which diverse individuals are able to participatefully in the decision-making process within an organization or group.While a truly “inclusive” group is necessarily diverse, a “diverse” groupmay or may not be “inclusive.”Diversity: The variance or difference among people. This variance includesrace, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, nationality, language preference,socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity andothers. These differences are tied to a variety of other aspects of diversitysuch as experience, work styles, life experience, education, beliefs and ideas.People of color and communities of color: For the purposes of this plan,communities of color are Native Americans, African Americans, AsianAmericans and Pacific Islanders, Latinos or Hispanics and immigrantsand refugees who do not speak English well, including African immigrants,Slavic and Russian-speaking communities and people from the Middle East.8 Metro

A new approach tomanaging waste10 Metro
A NEWAPPROACHAddressing thefull life cycleOur regional waste system is more than recyclingservices and garbage facilities. It encompasses theentire life of the products we use, from design toproduction to use, until they go to a recycler, landfillor thrift store.This Regional Waste Plan addresses the entire life cycle of products.The goals and actions are designed to not only improve the way wemanage materials at the end of their life, but also to reduce harmfulimpacts by intervening earlier. There’s opportunity to improve howwe design and produce products, extract raw materials from the earth,make purchasing decisions and use what we buy. The traditionalgarbage and recycling system, which handles products and packagingafter we are done with them, is just one part of this larger system.This life cycle approach can result in healthier people and a healthierplanet. It can improve access to high-quality services and information,no matter where you live. It can help you decide what to buy or whereto get rid of an item you are done using. It can also lessen the negativehealth and environmental impacts from the materials and products weuse every day.2030 Regional Waste Plan 11
The life cycle ofproducts and materials1 Product design and manufacturingWhat it involves:Extracting natural resources from the earth by mining, drilling,forest harvesting or other methodsDesigning products and selecting what goes into themProducing or manufacturing productsTransporting and distributing productsWays to reduce harmful impacts:Design products to use fewer newly extracted natural resourcesand more recycled materialsDesign products to include safer chemicals and materialsDesign products to be more durable, reusable and recyclableUse fewer materials when making products and packaging themUse less energy or cleaner energy sources throughout the processShare responsibility for reducing impacts among everyoneinvolved with a product across its life cycle2 Product consumption and useWhat it involves:The purchasing decisions of people, companies and institutionsThe use of products by individuals and businessesWays to reduce harmful impacts:Provide consumers with the tools and education needed to makeinformed decisionsEnsure better access to sustainable productsImplement policies to restrict or limit the sale of, or accessto, products with high impacts to human health and theenvironment.12 Metro
3 Product end-of-life managementA NEWAPPROACHWhat it involves:The people, facilities, companies, non-profits and governmentagencies that handle recyclables and garbageThe activities involved in waste management, including collection,recycling and processing, transfer, transportation and disposalThe reuse community, which adds life to reusable goods likeclothes, appliances and lumberWays to reduce harmful impacts:Promote and provide more opportunities for people to safelyreuse and repair productsProvide options for donating reusable products before throwingthem awaySupport efforts to ensure that grocery stores and similar placescan safely donate edible and nutritious surplus food to agenciesserving people experiencing hungerImprove options for people to reduce their garbage by providingservices such as building deconstruction, recycling andcomposting for homes and businessesFoster greater recycling by strengthening markets and collectionprogramsEnsure that facilities provide benefits to their communities, notjust Design and manufacturingPurchase2Recycle/Compost3End-of-life managementConsumptionand useRepair/ReuseUseDisposeProcessCollectSort2030 Regional Waste Plan 13

Repair and reuseHundreds of organizations in the Portland region help residents, businesses, schools and othersextend the life of their products by repairing them or getting them reused, instead of thrown away.CollectionResidents, businesses, schools and other institutions produce recyclables, food scraps, yard debrisand garbage and separate these into different containers. More than 40 private haulers thencollect these materials. City and county governments determine which haulers may serve theircommunities and, in most cases, the rates those haulers can charge their customers.TransferThe seven transfer stations serving the region accept garbage, yard debris and food scraps andconsolidate these materials for transfer to landfills and composting and biogas facilities. Sometransfer stations may pull out large recyclables, like scrap metal or cardboard, from the garbageand recycle it. Five of the region’s transfer stations are privately owned and Metro owns the MetroCentral facility in northwest Portland and the Metro South facility in Oregon City. The Metrofacilities also accept household hazardous waste from the public and certain businesses.RecyclingHaulers deliver the recyclable materials they collect to sorting facilities where workers andmachines separate plastic, paper and metals. The sorted materials are then sold to other companiesfor recycling locally or for shipping to other parts of the country or overseas. Glass is taken to aseparate facility in Portland for sorting and processing. In addition, different facilities will sort andprocess construction materials, like wood, metal and concrete, for recycling.Composting and biogas productionTrucks from the transfer stations transport yard debris and food scraps to composting and biogasfacilities, although in some cases haulers take yard debris directly from generators to compostingfacilities. These facilities turn materials into compost, a high value soil amendment for agriculturaland individual customers. At biogas plants, food scraps are turned into biogas through a processcalled anaerobic digestion. The biogas is used to generate electricity or natural gas. Biogas plantsalso produce liquid fertilizer as a by-product and a solid material that can be composted.Disposal at landfillsSeven landfills located across Oregon and Washington receive the Portland area’s garbage. One ofthese landfills, which only accepts non-putrescible material, is located in Washington County. Therest are outside the region, with many located east of the Cascades.2030 Regional Waste Plan 15A NEWAPPROACHOur regional garbage and recycling system handles products andpackaging at the end of their useful life. The system includes:
Leading with equityOur region is stronger when everyone has access tofinancial prosperity, a healthy environment and therange of opportunities that allow us to thrive.But unfortunately, a long history of exclusionary and discriminatorypolicies has harmed communities of color in the Portlandmetropolitan region. As a result, communities of color currentlyexperience the worst economic and social outcomes of anydemographic group.Within the garbage and recycling system, inequities appear in avariety of ways, including: The garbage and recycling industry tends to lack diversity in theworkforce—except in the job categories that pay the lowest wages. Procurement processes for solid waste operations contracts ofteninclude barriers to participation for minority-owned and womanowned small businesses. Communities of color experience barriers to accessing Metro’srecycling information, education services and householdhazardous waste services. People of color own few of the businesses that run our region’ssystem.Metro, cities and counties are committed to creating the conditions thatallow everyone to enjoy the benefits of our growing region. With ourprograms, policies and services, we are working to make this a greatplace for everyone—today and for generations to come.To ensure an inclusive process from the start, Metro convened anEquity Work Group to ensure that racial equity was incorporated intothe plan. The work group participated in each phase of the process,working alongside staff in drafting elements of the plan. Metro and eightcommunity-based organizations also organized discussions to learnhow residents envision the future of the garbage and recycling system.These discussions informed many of the actions in this plan.16 Metro
A NEWAPPROACH“My experience has beenenlightening. I have been inspiredby Metro’s willingness to take risksand promote transformationalchange.”Juan Carlos Gonzalez,Equity Work Group memberHOW EQUITY ISINCORPORATED IN THE2030 REGIONAL WASTE PLANThis plan includes a variety ofelements to eliminate barriersand advance racial equity,diversity and inclusion. Equity is called out specificallyin the set of values. The principles providea framework for key equityconsiderations to guide planimplementation. 40 actions focus directly onadvancing equity andreducing disparities.2030 Regional Waste Plan 17
