Heather Buch's opponent has made his opposition to this project a centerpiece of his campaign.

From rate hikes to lawsuits, a lot is going on with trash in Lane County. Navigating the web of private interests, profiteering, and political posturing can be overwhelming. We’re here to help you cut to the chase, stay informed, and identify ways to get involved.

This webinar will provide an overview of Lane County’s CleanLane Project and its environmental and economic benefits. We will also cover why it has received so much opposition from haulers and what could be motivating that opposition.

Lastly, we will recommend a few easy ways to get involved and leave plenty of time for Q&A.
