Bend Garbage & Recycling, Cascade Disposal, High Country Disposal, Prineville Disposal, Madras Sanitary Service and Wilderness Garbage, local haulers in Central Oregon, are taking part in the Community Assistance for Neighbors with Cancer (CAN Cancer) program, which raises money for individuals in the area who are battling cancer. The participating haulers are mailing out collection envelopes in spring billing statements and asking customers to donate what they can.

CAN Cancer helps families with non-medical expenses like food and travel costs, and 100 percent of the funds raised goes toward patients.
