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

ing of the fee structure, we

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.

“We look forward to many
more years of developing

youth together.”
Heideman said
Threemile Canyon Farms

tural industry on so many
levels. “An organization
that truly puts youth first
and have donated time,
efforts, energy and signif-
icant financial support to
improve the 4-H experience
for youth across Morrow
County.”
