very nice and understood the prob
lem,” Weeldreyer said, ‘‘But they
just simply said, ‘I don’t have mon
ey to take the garbage to the dump.
Weeldreyer said most of the re
fuse is common material that just
never left an owner’s property.
“Generally there are garbage
cans overflowing, cars not running
and washing machines sitting in
view of the neighbors,” she said.
Lane County has several ordi
nances that forbid leaving exces
sive amounts of garbage in areas
visible to other residents in the
immediate area. Property owners
who do not take advantage of the
coupons offered by the county
will face daily fines and possible
liens on the property by the coun
ty, Weeldreyer said.
Garbage was not that big of a
problem in suburban areas of
-* Lane County, but Weeldreyer said
that “the by-ways of certain areas
of rural Lane County are getting
pretty junky.”
Mike Turner, technical special
ist with the Lane County waste
management office, said the
county is “trying to make it a lit
tle easier to clean up nuisance
properties.” He said the county is
predicting that 50 properties will
be eligible for the coupons. If all
50 property owners accept the of
fer, the county stands to lose
$3,250 in dumping fees, he said.
John Cole, manager of the
county’s land management pro
gram which enforces county code
regulations, said his office is step
ping up garbage ordinance en
forcement and hopes people will
take advantage of the coupon pro
gram. Cole said investigators only
inspect properties after receiving
complaints.
“If someone calls and says, ‘My
neighbor’s house is full of crap,
can you come help?’ then we in
vestigate,” he said.
Once at site, Cole said, his of
fice always tries to talk with own
ers to work out a solution before
handing out fines and never ag
gressively enforces the codes.
“No one goes out with baseball
bats, knocks down doors and ar
rests people for these things,” he
said.
The general process for dealing
with property owners who do not
clean up their properties is to de
liver letters that Cole said start out
with “please clean up your proper
ty” and get progressively more de
manding if owners don’t comply.
If by the fifth letter, owners
have not cleaned up their proper
ties, Cole said, they could be fined
$500 a day or face liens on the
properties. One property south of
Creswell that Cole described as
“so far gone it’s the poster child of
crappy properties” had a lien of
$95,000 against it and was even
tually taken over by the county.
The county is not expecting a
significant influx of garbage as a re
sult of the coupon program be
cause it was designed by the coun
ty to help clean up neighborhood
eyesores, not as a solution to heavi
ly polluted or littered sites, Cole
said.
The county will start handing
out coupons June 1.
