Lunch Program: Timm Schimke, Deschutes County Landfill

On Tuesday, February 18 2020, our speaker will be Timm Schimke, Deschutes County’s Director of Solid Waste.

Knott Landfill – the only landfill in Deschutes County – is estimated to have about ten years of remaining life. The county’s Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) has been developing a Solid Waste Management Plan, identifying, analyzing and recommending options for managing solid waste after the 135-acre landfill closes.

The identified options span the entire solid waste system, including recycling, composting, collection, transfer and disposal.
