I have to believe there are plenty of qualified people in Lame County to consult on matters like these.  Government loves to go to people outside of Lame County  who have no idea who we are or what we are about.  We started the recycling craze, WE are very conscious of what the needs of our county are when it comes to trash.  The powers to be should look to the resources they have right here at home for questions of concern to THIS county.  Not hire some carpet baggers from Californica who have already screwed up their state.
