12 critical questions

OBJECTIVE

Determine how convenient the drop-off locations are for Oregon residents based on travel time to access a drop-off facility, travel distance to access a drop-off facility

Statewide Countywide

Develop a tool to aid in selection of potential locations

METHODS

Locations active as of January 24, 2011

Created service areas 5, 10, and 15 miles 5, 10, and 20 minutes

Estimated the population within each service areas

TOOL OUTPUTS

Recommended potential locations single site a specific number of sites as many sites as are required to bring a

given percentage of the population within a specified time or distance

Summary tables statewide county level

CONCLUSIONS

High convenience statewide, lacking in some areas

The most underserved residents include those living in Gilliam, Douglas, Polk, and Lincoln counties

Site Selection and Convenience Analysis tool can help ensure that future programs achieve high convenience with limited facilities.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Plan yearly collection event in Gilliam county

Establish collection sites in Polk, Douglas, and Lincoln counties if funds become available

If and when potential sites are chosen, use tool to select the most beneficial ones or to guide the order of activation.
