So who is Dietrich Trucking and why does it matter? Well I am not exactly sure but I do have information that suggests they are hauling trash from the Beaver HIll Disposal Site to California in anticipation of the County selling the property. From an email forwarded to me…

The father-in-law of one of my co-workers drives long haul, a couple of days ago he pulled into a truck stop next to two trucks with Waste Connection logos, after engaging in conversation with the drivers he was told that they were employees of Dietrick Trucking in California and that they were contracting with Waste Connections to haul garbage from Coos Bay to Fairfield Ca. They told him that they were residents of Coos Bay and that they were currently hauling out of the Waste Connections transfer site. They told him he should put in an application with Waste Connections because they were going to increase the number of trucks as soon as the sale of the BHDS was completed. They told him that the Commissioners had already agreed to sell the site but that they had not yet agreed on a price. I would not have given much weight to this information except that my co-workers father-in-law got the drivers names and a company phone number. I just placed a call to the number and spoke to a receptionist named Tammy from Dietrick Trucking, when I mentioned the two drivers names she said “oh, our Coos Bay drivers”. I told her I was interested in a job and she connected me to a gentleman who told me they were taking applications at the Waste Connections Transfer Site in Coos Bay.

Does anyone know if there are plans to sell Beaver Hill Disposal Site? Are there plans to privatize waste management in Coos County? The accident above blocked 101 for hours above Gold Beach with Coos County garbage, who pays for the clean up? Did Dietrich bid for the hauling rights?
