Fall Leaves
Special Edition: Fall 2020
Just when we think 2020 can't get any more complicated, Clackamas County gets hit with unprecedented wildfires. We hope you and your residents are safe. 
We bring you this special edition to share time-sensitive information: Metro's public comment period regarding changes to the multifamily regional service standards for garbage and recycling ends Oct. 15. We also want to share links to reliable wildfire information. Please be sure to check out these links, and others, below.
As always, to request free waste reduction and recycling resources or assistance, contact us today or use our online order form. See our list of regional multifamily contacts for assistance outside Clackamas County.
