DATE: 3/5/19 <br />Kittitas County Solid Waste Programs <br />925 Industrial Way, Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />Telephone: (509) 962-7542 <br />Fax: (509) 962-7087 <br />TO: Kittitas County Commissioners Office <br />FROM Bryan Nass <br />RE: Event Application - Yakima River Canyon Marathon <br />The Solid Waste Programs department is satisfied with the applicants' proposed handling of <br />solid waste, as per below. <br />Section 5, Garbage/Recycling, of the application is not specific enough regarding infrastructure <br />and process for KCSW to be certain that garbage and recyclables will be appropriately handled <br />during the event. Therefore, I contacted the new event coordinator, Mr. Frank Purdy (509-961- <br />9769), to obtain the necessary details. Mr. Purdy indicated that trash/recycle bins and <br />commercially maintained port-a-potti's will be located at the start, finish, and each aid station. <br />Their garbage consists predominantly of paper cups and food wrappers, and the recycling is <br />mostly plastic. They will separate any recyclables from garbage where they get mixed. As per <br />the written plan, all garbage and recyclables will be disposed of in Yakima County. <br />
