Many Americans have questions about waste management and would like more objective information on the topic. A question needed to be addressed: Is waste management education an appropriate program for Extension? To answer this question, a survey was developed and sent to county Extension agents in Oregon. Results show that agents have an interest in conducting waste management educational programs. Most agents prefer ready-to-use waste management educational materials such as fact sheets, videos, and mass media. The survey was easy to administer and useful in determining the appropriateness of new subject programming for Extension in Oregon.
