United Steelworkers Local 8378 has reviewed the issues surrounding the application by Waste Management INC of Houston, Texas for an expansion of their Riverbend Landfill in Yamhill County, Oregon and they have issued a letter to the Yamhill County Commissioners stating that they do not believe Riverbend’s expansion is in the best interest of the county and community.
The unions are adding their voice to a long list of community groups and individuals who have taken a stand against this expansion: the Willamette Valley Wineries Association, the Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District, the Yamhill Farm Bureau, Waste Not of Yamhill County, and the Yamhill County Planning Board.
