Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 15, 2020 -- FIVE Wrestling team places second in Cougar Challenge PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF FEE $167.50 PUBLIC NOTICE SCHEDULE CHANGES Morrow County has two Notice of Vacancy A minimum of $8.85 will be charged for any amount of waste depos- ited at the transfer sta- tions up to a full cubic yard (equivalent to six 32 gallon bags/contain- ers). If you do not have a full cubic yard of waste (equivalent to six 32 gal- lon bags/containers), you may want to wait until the full cubic yard is met and then deposit your waste. The attendant is not required and will not keep track of loads. Effective January 2020, Morrow County Public Works Transfer Stations has been working from the same fee schedule for the past seven years. Due to the continual increase in cost for the County to dispose of the waste and an effort to minimize il- legal dumping to occur, it is with careful consid- eration working with our neighboring waste collec- tors that the fee schedule for Morrow County res- idents utilizing the Mor- row County Public Works Transfer Stations will be restructured to a per cu- bic yard charge. Effective January 2020, we feel this is the best feasible way to charge utilizing basic hauler terms and will add some consistency between the stations since all loads include multiple products with various weights and densities. Currently with the two transfer stations, it costs the County an average of $8.85 per cubic yard to dis- pose of waste. There will be a minimum fee of $8.85 (or one cubic yard) and then charged per cubic yard for anything greater than one. The fee is restructured as the follow- ing: Length x Width x Height/ depth = ____ divide by 27 x minimum charge $8.85 Examples: •4’x4’x1’ (LWH): 0.59 cu- bic yards $8.85 up to the 1 cubic yard, close to equivalent to SIX 32-gallon garbage bags is .96 cubic yards. •6’x6’x1’ (LWH): 1.33 cu- bic yards $11.50 •8’x16’x4’ (LWH): 18.96 cubic yards transfer stations: •SOUTH-END STATION, HWY 74 HEPPNER/LEX- INGTON HWY, LEXING- TON •NORTH-END STATION, 69900 FRONTAGE LANE, BOARDMAN, OR Both transfer stations are open every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. With the chang- ing of the fee structure, we will now be able to accept cash, check and Visa or Mastercard for your con- venience. The new point of sale will provide consisten- cy, accuracy and help with inventory of waste for our recycling and waste calcu- lation reporting efforts. Our transfer stations offer FREE of charge disposal for recycling of newspa- per, cardboard, small steel cans, small glass and alu- minum, latex and/or oil based paint (no more than 5-gallon containers), , elec- tronics including computer towers, computer screens, key boards, printers, hand- held radios, fax machines, tablets, telephones, cell phones, stereo and copiers.

Examples of these are sofa/couch, love seat, chair/large chair, mattresses, box springs, toilets, sinks kitchen/ bath, bathtubs, refrigera- tor, freezer, water heaters, stove/range, washers and dryers.

Jeff & Jessica Wendler (Threemile Canyon Farms), Erin Heideman (OSU Extension, Morrow County), Lindsey Shirley (University Outreach & Engagement As- sociate Provost) Threemile Canyon Farms, along with Dr. Jeff Wendler and his staff, have been awarded the Oregon State University Extension Service Cooperator of the Year Award. Cooperator awards honor individuals and businesses who have made a significant contribu- tion to Extension program- ming in Oregon in program involvement, support and community service. Jeff Wendler, DVM, and his team at Threemile Canyon Farms and Co- lumbia River Dairy have been strong supporters of the Morrow County 4-H program for the past five years with monetary do- nations and staff expertise to propel the 4-H program and its youth forward. It is through this support and innovation that Morrow County has developed two new leading programs for 4-H youth, reaching 150 youth and their families each year. The development of a Farm Field day and the Dairy Heifer Project pro- grams are unique to the state and provide hands- on learning on how large dairies operate and how students can prepare for a career in the dairy field, especially locally. Their genuine friendship and in- volvement in the county 4-H program has fostered relationships and experi- ences that could be gleaned nowhere else. “The working relation- ship and friendship devel- oped with Dr. Wendler and his team has benefited the members of Morrow Coun- ty 4-H,” said county 4-H educator, Erin Heideman. 132, won three, lost one and placed third.
