Lane County to roll out new multifamily recycling program
Lane County Waste
Management is imple-
menting a multifamily re-
cycling program in an ef-
fort to improve access to,
and quality of, recycling at
apartments, condomini-
ums and any multi-tenant
properties that have five
or more units with shared
garbage collection.
Clear instructions and
signage are often the most
effective tools to keep the
recycling clean and sorted
correctly.
Lane County is offer-
ing resources and invit-
ing property owners or
managers to register for a
pilot project that will of-
fer advanced resources at
lanecounty.org/multifam-
ilyrecycling.
In a National Multifam-
ily Housing study on what
apartment renters want,
80 percent of respondents
said access to recycling is a
top-five desirable feature,
right up there with park-
ing or a fitness center.
“Lane County resi-
dents clearly feel recy-
cling is very important,
and renters should have
equal access,” says Lane
County Waste Reduction
Specialist Sarah Grimm.
“We know from research
conducted by Oregon’s
Department of Environ-
mental Quality that we
still have high levels of im-
proper recycling, so sever-
al free resources are avail-
able now and the pilot
projects will test addition-
al advanced resources.”
State law (ORS 90.318)
requires landlords of
apartments, condomini-
ums and other multifami-
ly communities (with 5 or
more units) to provide re-
cycling service along with
garbage service in certain
cities and their urban
growth boundaries.
Currently,
Eugene,
Springfield, Creswell and
Florence require property
owners and managers to
provide recycling.
Lane
County
has
amended code regulations
to ensure this extends
from city limits to the ur-
ban growth boundary of
those cities as required by
law.
The Lane County Waste
Reduction Program is
seeking interested multi-
family property owners or
managers to participate in
pilot projects.
Participating properties
will receive free educa-
tional resources and tools
to help tenants recycle
right, and in return they
will provide oversight and
reporting for one year.
Interested
property
owners or managers can
register by filling out the
survey at lanecounty.org/
multifamilyrecycling.

CORRECTION
South Valley Resource
Alliance mistakenly re-
ported in the Dec. 18
edition of The Sentinel
that the $1,750 donat-
ed by Trinity Women in
Mission through Trinity
Lutheran Church from
traffic enforcement that
deputies would not nor-
mally be able to do with-
out the special, allocated
funding.
This saturation is in
conjunction with a na-
tionwide effort to reduce
drunk and impaired driv-
ing over the holiday sea-
son.
The U.S. Department
of Transportation reports
that over the past five
years, an average of 300
people died in drunk driv-
ing crashes the week be-
tween Christmas and New
Year’s nationally.
In 2016, 781 people lost
their lives in drunk driv-
ing related crashes in the
month of December na-
tionwide.
The Lane County Sher-
iff ’s Office wants to re-
mind motorists to drive
safely during the typically
hazardous conditions this
time of year, drive so-
ber and utilize designat-
ed drivers, taxis or other
public transportation if
they choose to drink.
With the passage of Or-
egon’s marijuana laws, this
is also a reminder of the
impairment
marijuana
creates of drivers, impact-
ing their ability to safely
operate a motor vehicle.
Driving Under the In-
fluence of Intoxicants
(DUII) applies to drivers
under the influence of
marijuana, as it does with
alcohol.
New law to allow plate transfers from totaled, altered vehicles
If DMV receives notice
that your car is totaled or
substantially altered after
Jan. 1, 2020, you will be
able to keep the plates and
registration on the vehicle
or transfer them to anoth-
er vehicle.
House Bill 2576, passed
by the 2019 Legislature,
changed requirements to
transfer plates and regis-
trations for some vehicles.
Here is what the new law
does:
• Requires tow compa-
nies to allow the registered
owner to remove their
plates from a vehicle after
it has been towed.
• Allows you to transfer
your plates and registra-
tion when a salvage title
has been issued to your
totaled or substantially al-
tered vehicle.
• Allows you to keep the
plates and registration on,
or transfer them from, a
vehicle that is totaled or
substantially altered, or is
recovered after a theft, as
long as a salvage title has
not been issued.
• Allows an approved
customer-provided spe-
cial interest plate to be
transferred from one ve-
hicle to another qualifying
vehicle.
For more information
on plate transfers, visit
OregonDMV.com.
In fact, any time you
need to visit DMV, please
first check OregonD-
MV.com to find business
hours, locations and wait
times for most offices, and
to make sure you have ev-
erything you need before
your visit.

Dorcas Lorraine McCutch-
eon passed away suddenly on
December 21, 2019. She had
cookies in hand and was on
her way to share some laughs
with her family--as we know,
Dorcas’s friends were also her
extended family.
Dorcas was born on De-
cember 3, 1952, to William
Wittrock and Renata Lorraine
Wittrock. Dorcas’s affi nity
for animals began at an early
age, and her trust in and love
for animals of all types was
something that would con-
tinue throughout her lifetime,
from dogs and cats to pigeons
and goats and horses. She also
loved her garden and the ocean
and taking people in and being
a helper. Dorcas’s creative spirit
and artistic ability allowed her
to express herself and to craft
items of enduring charm and
whimsy. Dorcas knew how
to laugh, and with her kook-
ie-bird sense of humor, she
laughed with us and helped us
to laugh. She valued helping,
and when faced with a chal-
lenge, she would take it on with
a will. Dorcas was a strong,
loyal woman who worked hard
and loved deeply, and her en-
during spirit is something we
can all hold on to.
Dorcas is survived by her
daughters, Heather Burzacott,
Heidi Peschel, and Amber
Quatier, and by her sister,
Sandy Pike, and her brother,
William Wittrock, and by her
beloved grandchildren, Dylan
and Monet Burzacott, and
Aislynn and Irelynn Quatier,
and by her soul sisters, Bonnie
Gilvin and Nancy Young.
We take comfort in know-
ing that Dorcas and Larry are
holding hands and having
a laugh in Heaven, together
again forever.
A memorial and potluck
will be held on January 3, 2020,
1:30-4:00 P.M. at the Cottage
Events Venue, 2915 Row River
Road, Cottage Grove, OR.
