The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Monday, Jan. 31, to consider new residential recycling collection services for Waste Connections customers. Waste Connections’ service area includes residential customers in Deschutes River Woods, Woodside Ranch, Conestoga Hills, Sundance, Sunriver and Crosswater subdivisions and surrounding areas. Waste Connections is proposing to add new services for residential customers. These changes need to be approved by the Board of Commissioners because of franchise agreements for solid waste service providers in the County.
