About Us

Benton Clean & Strong is a community-based coalition of residents, families, business owners, and local leaders who believe in keeping Benton County affordable, sustainable, and true to our local values. We share a commitment to protecting the county’s quality of life, supporting good jobs, and planning for the future.

Our coalition came together with one goal: ensuring our community has a smart, long-term plan for managing waste, protecting the environment, and strengthening our local economy. With nearby landfills closing, Benton County faces an important choice. The proposed expansion of Coffin Butte Landfill offers a responsible path forward—one that keeps services local, powers homes with renewable energy, safeguards jobs, and invests in our future.

We believe decisions that affect Benton County should be made here, by people who live and work here. That’s why we provide accurate information, promote community dialogue, and advocate for solutions that meet our county’s needs while maintaining local oversight. Our work is grounded in transparency, collaboration, and respect for the diverse perspectives that make our community strong—today and for generations to come.
