Oregon City asks Metro to keep waste facility in town
Clackamas County officials also have balked at using a new site for garbage and recycling.
Oregon City city commissioners don t want Metro to move a waste-transfer facility in Oregon City to a proposed 26-acre parcel on the north bank of the Clackamas River to alleviate capacity concerns.
During the previous week, Clackamas County leaders showed little enthusiasmfor the proposal to use the new site as a garbage and recycling facility.
Oregon City Commission President Rocky Smith said he understands Metro s need to expand its recycling programs, but asked that current services remain in the city.
