Portland Recycles! Plan
In June 2006, Portland City Council directed BPS to develop a new waste prevention and recycling plan. The resulting plan, Portland Recycles! A New Waste Prevention and Recycling Plan for Portland, has four main goals:
- to increase the recycling rate to 75% by 2015,
- to reduce toxics and greenhouse gases,
- to have zero growth in the waste stream, and
- to make the system as a whole more sustainable.
