Union County approves up to $2,000 for North Powder spring clean-up
Summary
The Board of Commissioners unanimously approved up to $2,000 from the Solid Waste District to help the City of North Powder host an April 18, 2026 city-wide clean-up, with a required city match; the project is estimated to cost $2,500–$3,000.
The Union County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously April 15 to approve up to $2,000 to help the City of North Powder stage its April 18 spring clean-up day. Alan Brown, a North Powder city councilman, told commissioners the city will provide dumpsters and arrange special disposal for metal, tires, e-cycle items, batteries and yard debris; he estimated costs at about $2,500 to $3,000.
"They estimate the project to cost approximately $2,500 to $3,000 and are requesting funds to assist in the cost," Brown said. Commissioner Paul Anderes made the motion to approve up to $2,000 with a local match; Administrative Officer Shelley Burgess noted the funding will come from the Solid Waste District. The motion carried unanimously.
The county’s contribution is intended to reduce illegal dumping and hazardous roadside debris by supporting organized community collection. Commissioner R. Matthew Scarfo said spring clean-up events help prevent garbage and tires from accumulating in county ditches. The funding approval directs Burgess to process the allocation under the Solid Waste District account.
