Pelican Pub teams up with local dairy to turn beer waste into feedD
arron Welch, head brewer at the Pelican Pub &Brewery in Pacific City, is proud of the dozensof national and international awards the pub
has earned for its locally brewed beers. But with allthat success comes a problem: What do you do withthe spent grains and hops used to make the beer?
If the pub had to dump its brewing waste liquids into thePacific City Joint Water and Sanitary District system, the bi-ological load on the plant would be huge and expensive, heexplains. And dumping the spent grains at a landfill wouldcreate a smelly nuisance.
Fortunately, Tillamook County just happens to beequipped with about 30,000 four-legged grain disposers.They’re called dairy cows.
So the pub has teamed up with local dairy farmer MikeTrent, whose cows make quick work of every scrap of wastethe brewery can turn out.
“Our spent grains have a pretty high feed value for cat-tle,” Welch explains. “We collect all the grains and liquidsinto bins and load them onto a trailer we bought just for thispurpose. Then we call Mike, who comes over, hauls it to hisfarm, and feeds it to his herd.”
Welch said the pub even bought a special Bobcat attach-
ment that Trent can use for unloading the bins from thetrailer.
Trent, who milks about 180 cows at his farm just south ofCloverdale, is the second farmer to work with the pub. Thefirst was Stan Martella, who passed the baton when he an-nounced he was retiring. Trent has been getting the grain forabout four months and is thrilled.
“Every 25 pounds that I get is the equivalent of five or sixpounds of dry grain,” he said. “Right now, we’re payingabout $250 or $260 a ton for corn, so getting this free grainis really great.”
Trent said he pours it all into his feed mixer along withgreen chopped grass and silage.
“You can’t see it in the feed at all, but it smells good andthe cows love it. They eat the heck out of it.”
No, he added, this does not mean his cows walk around abit tipsy. The grains, he explains, are extracted from thebrewing process before fermentation begins. But the aromais unmistakably beer, even so.
According to Welch, the pub brews about four batches ofbeer a week in summer and about two a week in winter. Allthe residue goes to the dairy.
“And I wish I could get more,” adds Trent.
Since 1971, Oregon has had a bottle bill inplace that provides for a 5-cent refundable depositon beverage cans and bottles.
The bill, sponsored by Tillamook’s own PaulHanneman, who then was a member of the stateHouse of Representatives and later became aCounty Commissioner, was designed to reduce lit-ter along state highways and beaches.
Over the years, the pioneering legislation hashad a huge positive effect. When it went into ef-fect in 1971, beverage containers made up asmuch as 40 percent of roadside litter. By 1973,that figure had fallen to 10.8% and by 1979 to 6%.
Over the years, however, with changes in bev-erage packaging, it became clear that the billneeded modification to keep up with the times. Inparticular, legislators wanted to include water bot-tles into the program to reduce the massive num-bers that were ending up in landfills.
Senate Bill 707, signed by the governor onJune 7, 2007, will expand the bottle bill for thefirst time since its inception to include a refund-able deposit for all water and flavored water bot-tles under three liters. The expansion will go intoeffect Jan. 1, 2009.

newsletter from theTillamook CountySolid Waste Depart-ment. I am JenniferPurcell, the new solidwaste coordinator.
We have reformattedthe old “Wrap Sheet”into this new, colorfulpublication to bring you regular news about re-cycling and waste reduction issues and to high-light the great work that members of ourcommunity are doing toward that goal.
In this edition, we are featuring the PelicanPub & Brewery and Alice’s Country HouseRestaurant who are using innovative ways to re-duce what they put into the waste stream.
If you know of others who are taking similaraction, be sure to let me know by emailing me [email protected], or call me at (503)815-3975.
I’d also like to thank everyone who partici-pated in this year’s Household Hazardous Wastecollection event. You all contributed to makingthis a tremendous success! A total of 654 house-holds participated. Many homeowners took timeto organize community collections, bringinghazardous waste for neighbors who were other-wise unable to participate on their own.
While final pounds collected are not yetavailable county-wide, the north county collec-tion site saw a 70 percent increase in materialsrecovered over the previous year, for a total of27,454 pounds of hazardous waste. The Tillam-ook site collected 42,612 pounds, very consis-tent with 2007 collection data. South countycollection amounts were not available at thetime of publication, however the participationrate in Pacific City dropped from 180 vehicles in2007 to 125 in 2008.
In nearly every household in TillamookCounty, there is a variety of hazardous materials– any product labeled DANGER, WARNING,CAUTION or FLAMMABLE – half-used or innearly empty containers. There are commonlyused products for your yard and home that canharm people, fish and wildlife if disposed of im-properly.
Remember, Tillamook County is the “Land ofMany Waters,” and we all live downstream. Soit’s important to keep these materials out of ourenvironment. The county has made a significantinvestment in collecting as much hazardous ma-terial as possible. We don’t charge residents todispose of this material because it’s so importantto keep it out of the wastestream and our sensi-tive watersheds.
By participating in this county-sponsored col-lection event, citizens are ensured their haz-ardous materials are handled properly anddisposed of safely.
Statistics show that TillamookCounty residents care about recy-cling.
According to the annual reportfrom the Oregon Department of Envi-ronmental Quality released in Sep-tember, Tillamook County’s materialrecovery rate stood at 30.7 percent in2007, which is nearly one percentagepoint higher than the county’s 2009goal of 30 percent.
The report also stated that Tillam-ook County residents recycled orcomposted 890 pounds of waste percapita in 2007, which was the 13thhighest amount per capita rate out ofthe state’s 35 wasteshed areas.
Even so, according to the report,like the rest of Oregon, the county’srecovery rate has slipped a bit since2006, when its rate stood at 33.7 per-cent.
“Tillamook County residents holdstrong to values about protecting thenatural environment and our beauti-ful, native surroundings,” noted
County Solid Waste Coordinator Jen-nifer Purcell. “We should celebratethe fact that through passion and per-sonal conviction our citizens have di-verted so much of our solid wastegenerated from landfill disposal.
“Even more important, however, isthe fact that our waste generation isdown. Tillamook County residentsproduced 53 less pounds of garbageper person in 2007 compared to theprevious year. Particularly in thesedifficult economic times, I expect tosee our waste generation continue todecline.
“As our consumption and conse-quently our waste generation de-clines, however, it is critical that wecontinue to examine new and innova-
tive ways to divert materials from thewaste stream and the landfill. Whileour 2007 recovery rate meets ourCounty’s goals, it is important to lookclosely at how we can continue to im-prove. There are tremendous oppor-tunities for outreach and education.”
The statewide recovery rate of46.7%, which includes recycling,composting and material burned forenergy recovery, was down from2006’s rate of 47.3 percent and downfrom 2005’s 49.2 percent. The ratefalls short of the state’s 2009 recov-ery rate goal of 50 percent. In addi-tion, per-capita disposal of wastedeclined slightly, by 0.53 percent,from 2006 to 2007.
Oregon’s 1991 Legislature di-rected DEQ to conduct the MaterialRecovery and Waste Generation Sur-vey and initially set a statewide 50percent material recovery goal by theyear 2000. The Legislature extendedthe deadline for meeting the 50 per-cent mark to 2009.
County recycle rate beats state goals
Talking
TRASHWith Jennifer PurcellTillamook County Solid Waste Coordinator
Beginning Jan. 1, 2009, house-holds, small businesses, non-profits and anyone with seven
or fewer items may recycle their elec-tronics at no charge at participating
collection services and sites.Oregon E-Cycles (formerly known
as Oregon's Electronics RecyclingProgram, or "E-Waste") is a new pro-gram financed by manufacturers thatprovides responsible recycling ofcomputers, monitors and televisions.
What electronics are covered byOregon E-Cycles?
Computers (both desktops and lap-tops), monitors, and televisions areeligible for recycling at no chargethrough Oregon E-Cycles.
Where can I find an Oregon E-Cy-cles collection site?
After Jan. 1, 2009, two of Tillam-ook County’s three transfer stationoperators will be participating in theOregon E-Cycles program.
Tillamook County residents willbe able to recycle their covered elec-tronic devices free of charge as ofJan. 1, 2009, at the Manzanita Trans-fer Station operated by CART'M andthe Tillamook Transfer Station oper-ated by Averill Recycling.
Why is electronics recyclingneeded?
Electronics contain hazardous sub-stances such as lead, cadmium andmercury that can harm our health andthe environment. Electronics alsocontain such materials as copper,
gold and aluminum, which can be re-covered. Recycling keeps toxics outof our landfills and incinerators andpromotes the reuse of valuable mate-rials in new products. Beginning Jan.1, 2010, landfill disposal of comput-ers, monitors and TVs will be prohib-ited in Oregon.
How do I recycle other electronics?Other devices, such as computer
peripherals (keyboards, mice, etc.),DVD players, VCRs, video gameconsoles, printers, scanners, fax ma-chines and cell phones, are NOT cov-ered under Oregon E-Cycles.
What other options do I have? If your computer, monitor or TV is
in working condition, consider theseoptions before taking them for recy-cling.
• Repair and/or upgrade it.
• Reuse it. Save memory spaceon your new computer by des-ignating the old one for a spe-cific task, like word processingor hosting your music collec-tion. An old TV can serve as asecond set in another room, orbe used for games.
• Donate it.
Will I need a new television afterthe switch to digital TV in Feb.2009?
No. Analog televisions will con-tinue to work after the switch if con-nected to cable or satellite service.
When and how do retailers haveto make sure manufacturers are registered in order to sell theirproducts?
Beginning in January 2009, theelectronics recycling law prohibits re-tailers from selling covered electron-ics unless they are purchased frommanufacturers who are in compliancewith the Oregon Electronics Recy-cling law. Retailers are responsiblefor checking the DEQ electronicswebpage for lists of brands and man-ufacturers in compliance with theelectronics recycling law. They mustalso tell consumers where and howthey can recycle their e-waste in Ore-gon.
restaurant busi-ness for 30years, Alice An-derson – ownerof Alice’s Coun-try House – haslearned to keepher eye peeledfor new ways of doing things.
“I saw in the paper that restaurantsover in the valley were compostingkitchen wastes to cut down on theamount of garbage that had to be dis-carded,” she said.
So, she thought, why not try it at herlandmark restaurant just east of Tillam-ook on Wilson River Highway?
“I started back in February,” she said,“sorting kitchen wastes and taking homeabout eight buckets a week. Now I’mtaking home a couple of buckets a day.The import thing is to make absolutelycertain there are no animal wastes in-cluded. In the summertime, we hadplenty of fruit in there. Now, we have alot of lettuce.”
Anderson’s compost pile is at herhome near Jordan Creek, several miles tothe east in the forest. She and her hus-band grow vegetables – peas, carrots,cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower – fortheir personal use.
“We just built a little enclosure withwire and we flip the material with apitchfork. One of these days, I’d like toget one of those tumbler things.”
‘When I get a burr in my bonnet,” says Jennifer Purcell,Tillamook County’s new Solid Waste Coordinator,“I’m out there. I like to think of myself as an issue ad-
vocate.”Right now, the burr in Purcell’s bonnet is recycling and waste reduction.
And it’s definitely got her out there and advocating.“Seventy-five to 80 percent of what ends up in a landfill is recyclable,”
she says. “Contrary to what many people think, we’re not short on landfillcapacity. It’s also about resource conservation. We are stewards of this earth.The more stuff we accumulate, the more we leave behind and the more re-sources we use.”
With 15 years as an independent consultant in market research, Purcellsaid she had little experience in solid waste management when she startedthe job last March.
“I had a huge learning curve in terms of the industry, so I immersed my-self,” she explained.
She learned that Tillamook County residents already are making an effortto recycle. A recent state DEQ report rated us ahead of goal. But Purcell saidshe is dedicated to fostering an even greater awareness of the importanceand value of reducing solid waste.
“We don’t have a proactive recycling program here at the moment; wehave to rely on people’s passion for the environment to get them to recycle.”
That’s because the costs of a proactive approach, such as curbside recy-cling like that often seen in urban communities, are too high for a rural arealike Tillamook County.
“Ideally, I want to spend 50 percent of my time on outreach and educationabout recycling. Ironically, my passion for waste reduction couldn’t come ata better time. With the trouble the national economy is facing, consumptionis declining.”
Purcell said she favors legislation that would place responsibility for aproduct’s disposal on its manufacturer.
“That would place the onus on companies that have the greatest environ-mental impact,” she explains. She believes that having to think through aproduct’s life to its disposal would compel companies to rely more on recy-cling and, ultimately, save money.
Purcell holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an em-phasis on marketing from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash. Shehas lived in Tillamook County since April 2004.
Prior to joining the county’s Solid Waste Department, she worked asevent coordinator for the Taste of Tillamook County, sponsored by theTillamook County Economic Development Council. She also works as aproject coordinator for the Tillamook County Futures Council.
Purcell lives in Bay City with her husband and three children.

How the bottle bill works Oregon's bottle bill covers beer, other
malt beverages, carbonated mineral wa-ters, carbonated soft drinks, and, begin-ning Jan. 1, water and flavored water.
It does not cover juice, teas, wine,liquor, dairy, or other non-carbonateddrinks or beverages. Some carbonatedsports drinks and juices are considered“soft drinks” and may be covered.
Manufacturers, importers, or distribu-tors who sell covered beverages in Oregonmust label them so that the 5-cent refundvalue is clearly visible.
Stores must pay a 5-cent refund foreach covered empty container returned,with some exceptions:
• Beverage containers that visiblycontain or are contaminated by asubstance other than water, residueof the original contents or ordinarydust may be refused. Containersthat are so damaged that the brandor refund label cannot be identifiedalso may be refused.
• Stores may refuse to accept morethan 144 containers from one per-son per day. (The 2007 amend-ments created a 50-container limitfor stores occupying less than 5,000square feet of space).
Distributors must pay stores the 5-centrefund value for each covered containerreturned to the distributor for recycling.Deposits on containers not returned for re-fund (unredeemed deposits) are kept bythe distributors.

Your Load
Tillamook County Solid Waste Ordi-nance No. 4, Section 8.03 states that “Noperson shall permit any rubbish, trash, garbage, debris or other refuse to bethrown from a vehicle which the person is operating.” Violators may face finesup to $827.00.
If you are transporting rubbish, trash, garbage, debris or other refuse inTillamook County, your load must be secured. Your load is secure if it is cov-ered, enclosed and restrained so that the contents cannot drop, sift, leak or other-wise escape from your vehicle or trailer.
It’s the Law !!!
Tillamook County has com-pleted work on several majorcapital improvement projects
at the Manzanita and TillamookTransfer Stations.
These site improvements not only en-hance capacity and efficiency, but alsowork to divert additional materials fromthe waste stream. New legislation on thehorizon will impact the way we handlemany waste materials and we are work-ing diligently to be prepared.
The Solid Waste department isfunded 88% by special district tax dol-lars allocated annually. Additional fundscome from fees assessed at the transferstations. Each year a portion of the solidwaste budget is transferred to a contin-gency fund for capital improvementsand potential environmental mitigationat our closed landfill sites.
Last year, the Solid Waste AdvisoryCommittee recommended moving for-ward with several capital improvementprojects at the north and central transferstations to address long-term efficien-cies, compliance, special waste manage-ment and public safety requirements. Allof the projects completed during the2008-09 fiscal year have been paid forby funds set aside for just this purpose.
Tillamook Transfer Station1315 Eckloff Road, operated by Don
G. Averill Recycling
New ScaleIn order to better accommodate the
increasing quantity of waste disposed ofin Tillamook County, a new inboundscale was added at the Tillamook Trans-fer Station. The addition will allow thescale house to operate separate scalesfor incoming and outgoing traffic. Thatwill improve safety, capacity and effi-ciency.
In the past, vehicles were weighed asthey came into the transfer station andthen their tare weight was captured on
the same scale as they exited. The differ-ence between the two represents theamount disposed. As the volumes havegrown, this process impeded trafficflow, especially on busy days, and cre-ated safety concerns and operational in-efficiencies.
“We used to have little traffic jamshere, especially in the summer time,”said operations manager Aaron Averill.
With separate inbound and outboundlanes, vehicles now proceed to the tip-ping floor and exit with ease.
“It might mean a recycling customercould get in and out of here with a five-minute wait in line instead of 15 or 20minutes,” he added. Though the newscale has the same 100,000-pound ca-pacity, it is about half as long as theolder 70-foot scale, Averill noted.
of recyclable materials, a commercial re-cycling building has been constructed atthe east end of the transfer station prop-erty. This building will be used for recy-clables delivered to the transfer stationby commercial haulers. The public willnot use this facility and should continueto dispose of their recyclables in the re-
ceptacles provided. This building willoffer Averill Recycling additional spacefor baling materials such as cardboard,aluminum cans and plastics for market.
Manzanita Transfer Station34995 Necarney Road, operated by
Cart’m Recycling
Several projects have been completedor are nearing completion at the Man-zanita Transfer Station as part of Phase Iof Cart’m Recycling’s master plan ap-proved by the City of Manzanita in Feb-ruary 2007.
‘New’ BuildingWith a dramatic increase in the
amount of building and remodelinggoing on in North County, Cart’m hasseen a significant increase in the dis-posal of items such as hardware, con-struction materials and appliances.
A “new-to-you” pole building waserected this spring. Donated by Neah-Kah-Nie High School, this metal polebuilding was reconstructed on site forthe purpose of diverting constructionand demolition debris intended for reuseand resale. A portion of the building willprovide much needed work space.
Cart’m expects to be approved for occu-pancy and moved into the building thisfall.
Yard DebrisAnother exciting development at the
Manzanita Transfer Station is the newsatellite location for Trails End Recov-ery of Warrenton.
Cart’m has contracted with TrailsEnd Recovery to manage a comprehen-sive yard debris program. They are ac-cepting all yard and construction debrison a newly paved area just on the rightas you enter the transfer station property.This debris will then be recycled intohigh-grade trail and garden materialsthat customers can purchase out of bayson site at Cart’m!
Z-Wall RepairsImprovements continue with the z-
wall reconstruction. These retainingwalls, previously damaged by fire, arean essential component of the trash re-ceiving area at the Manzanita TransferStation. This system allows customersthe convenience of backing a vehicle upto the edge and throwing trash downinto the dumpsters below.
We have rebuilt and extended theconcrete z-wall, allowing the trashhauler safer access to the dumpster. Un-fortunately, we were unable to reuse theexisting canopy structures. Because ofsignificant weather-related wear and tearthat left the roof system unsafe, it wasnecessary to dismantle it.
We are continuing the process of re-constructing the dumpster canopieswhich protect the waste from stormwa-ter and other contaminants. The roofsystem will also incorporate a safetyguardrail. In addition, as part of a con-tinuing effort to address long-term ca-pacity, we will be designing thestructures to accommodate taller vehi-cles and dump trailers. We expect thisproject to be completed by year’s end.
A new inbound scale has been added at Tillamook Transfer Station.
