Incinerators and Landfills are two large-looming infrastructures in the waste management system. Each presents unique, but similar, environmental justice challenges. This panel offers an overview on current developments for Oregon's only incinerator, Reworld Marion, and the many landfills dotting the state. Panelists include local residents and non profit staff from Oregon and U.S. based organizations. The panel will cover several policy developments/ strategies to problems posed by the waste giants, some of which are currently going through the Oregon Legislature.
