For Household Hazardous Wastes and Moderate Risk Waste, a separate facility is available. The facility processes these materials and packs them for shipment.
Transportation challenges
Skagit and Snohomish county solid waste facilities are experiencing intermittent transportation problems as well as delays in garbage collection and delivery. Problems began in January, when solid waste transfer stations couldn't find railroad containers to transport their garbage. The result was that the garbage started to accumulate.
Problematic wastes include abandoned vehicles, bulky items and construction and demolition wastes as well industrial and animal manure. These types of waste require special handling. They are then separated and sent off to processing facilities. These materials undergo a process known as recycling which transforms them into useful products.

Other debris is accepted at rates established by the county. Skagit Solil, located at 13260 Ball Road Mount Vernon, can accept organic waste if you don't wish to use a landfill. The company is available Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Company's network for operations
The Skagit's network of operations, or "SkagitNet," is comprised of six different ISPs. Skagit Valley Herald and SkagitPort are two of the services SkagitNet offers. These services can be accessed through the Tribune Content Agency. The SkagitNet website is available at: skagitnet.wa.us/.
SkagitPort is an open-access fiber network that spans six segments from Anacortes to Concrete. Skagit Public Utility District manages the network. But this infrastructure is only of use if it can reach homes, businesses, and other people. Private businesses do not have the financial incentive to build fiber connections in rural areas where there is little population.

What is a basic management tool used in decision-making?
A decision matrix is an easy but powerful tool to aid managers in making informed decisions. They can think about all options and make informed decisions.
A decision matrix is a way of representing alternatives as rows and columns. This makes it easy to see how each alternative affects other choices.
This example shows four options, each represented by the boxes on either side of the matrix. Each box represents an alternative. The status quo (the current condition) is shown in the top row, and what would happen if there was no change?
The middle column shows the effect of choosing Option 1. This would result in an increase of sales of $2 million to $3million.
The following columns illustrate the impact of Options 2 and 3. These are both positive changes that increase sales by $1million and $500,000. These positive changes have their downsides. Option 2 can increase costs by $100 million, while Option 3 can reduce profits by $200,000.
Finally, the last column shows the results of choosing Option 4. This would result in a reduction of sales of $1 million.
The best thing about using a decision matrix is that you don't need to remember which numbers go where. You can just glance at the cells and see immediately if one given choice is better.
The matrix already does all the work. It is as simple as comparing the numbers within the relevant cells.
