The City needs to take care of their own garbage.

There is plenty of space here in CO to create a new site. Makes no sense to truck it far away.

We need this in Redmond https://idahonews.com/news/local/boise-on-the-cutting-edge-of-a-recycling-revolution

You and I created the trash we should deal with it with in 10 miles of Bend. OR perhaps between Bend and Redmond so both towns could use it.

Carolyn Harrison Testerman

Avoid transportation costs increasing the carbon footprint of our local trash even more.

Wanda Hancock

Just keep urging more and more people to move to Bend.You are really going to have a problem!

Cover the landfill. /Find a new site, in the county. Build apartments on the old one.

Because there is not enough support or compassion for those whom have criminal records that can't get jobs because of and or even have there own name on a place of living or vehicle even if they were holding down a job and putting there lives back on track so why would I be agreed for closing

Julie Larocco

Don’t think there enough places for all of these people to go. Let them stay where they are with the services provided until there is a permanent safe stay place/solution.

Rich Niederhof

The expenditure per person is outrageous..calculate per 190 residents! Also what is the stated method to audit the success of this large spending of our taxes?
