Marion County’s move from incineration to landfill illustrates the problems with both methods of trash disposal

Since the mid-1980s, Marion county has been sending its trash to an incinerator, now known as Reworld Marion Inc. It’s the only one in the state, and the county has partnered with it from from the beginning. The company recently filed objections with Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality around environmental regulations the state passed aimed at improving human health by reducing toxic emissions from the facility.
