Thanks to entrepreneur Kanye West, Park County officials may have finally found a solution to all of the trash blowing out of the Cody landfill.
For months, landfill managers and county commissioners have fretted about the plastic bags and other debris that escape the windy site and litter the surrounding area.
However, during a special meeting held today, April 1, West presented county commissioners with an apparent “win-win” solution: Under the plan, exclusively obtained by the Tribune, West’s workers would collect all of the bags scattered around the Cody landfill. The wind-blown plastics would then become a base material for a new line of shoes, called “Yeezy Breezys.”
The exact financial terms of the potential deal were not disclosed, but it would involve West and his companies paying millions of dollars to the county each year.
“Apparently, one man’s trash is truly another man’s treasure,” marveled Commission Vice Chairman Flossie Undermeadow, who threw her support behind the idea.
While it’s too early to say what the deal could mean for other landfill customers, Assistant Park County Engineer Ron McDonald said it’s reasonable to think that, instead of having to pay a tipping fee, residents may start getting a check for their trash at the landfill gate.
That could be what the county needs to finally entice City of Powell leaders to bring their garbage to the Cody landfill; Powell’s refuse is currently hauled to Billings, because its rates are cheaper, but the new partnership with West would change the math.
Powell Mayor Jon Pretzel said in an April 1 interview that he’d be “very interested” in discussing a switch.

Kim Kardashian Wants to Avoid Talking About Kanye West on 'KUWTK'
Kim Kardashian hasn't shied away from sharing her most vulnerable moments with Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans through the years — but there's one topic that she refuses to touch.
During the Thursday, March 25, episode of the reality series, the 40-year-old Skims founder refused to open up about her ups and downs with Kanye West . When pal Malika Haqq asked whether Kardashian would step up as first lady if the 43-year-old Yeezy designer had a successful presidential campaign, the makeup mogul admitted she was "not sure" about what was next.
"It's been a long day. … I don't want to talk about it on camera," Kim told Haqq, 38, and Khloé Kardashian . "You shouldn't pay attention to [the stories]. Please, please don't."
Later on, the social media personality said that she'd learned to "grow a thick skin" since marrying West in May 2014.
Fans have been aware about the troubles plaguing Kim's marriage to the Grammy winner since July 2020, when West revealed at a campaign rally that the pair had talked about aborting daughter North, now 7. The pair also share sons Saint, 5, and Psalm, 22 months, and daughter Chicago, 3.
Us Weekly confirmed at the time that Kim was "meeting with lawyers" after the "Stronger" rapper shared their personal conversations with the world. West also claimed via Twitter that he had been "trying" to separate from the KKW Beauty founder for two years and that she wanted to have him "locked up" amid his battle with bipolar disorder. After his controversial comments made headlines, West issued a public apology to the California native.
Kim officially filed for divorce from West in February after nearly seven years of marriage. At the time, a source told Us that the "turning point" in their relationship had actually happened in 2018 when the "Heartless" artist told TMZ that "slavery was a choice."
The insider added, "They went through a really rough patch in the aftermath of that. … It took a lot for them to move past it, but they were able to eventually. But when Kanye told the world that he and Kim had discussed aborting North [in July 2020], it was the breaking point in their marriage."
Though she didn't want to delve into the details of her relationship on KUWTK , her family members realized she was "struggling." Khloé, 36, told cameras that her sister even hesitated to open up when they weren't filming.

Here comes Kanye West's Yeezy line at Gap
"I spoke to Yeezy last night and he's very, very focused on this incredible opportunity—we're both very excited about it," Gap CEO Sonia Syngal told analysts on an earnings conference call Thursday evening. The Yeezy line is still expected to launch in the first half of this year, Syngal said.
Since the Gap deal was announced, West has had a series of head-scratching public moments. First, he declared he was running for president in 2020. Then, he said he would no longer run for president. He then engaged in a Twitter war about his well-being with wife Kim Kardashian and mother-in-law Kris Jenner.
To that end, Gap showed some progress in its latest earnings results. Fourth quarter comparable-store sales at Old Navy and Athleta rose 7% and 26%, respectively. Same-store sales at Gap and Banana Republic fell 6% and and 22%, respectively.
Gap forecast a return to growth in 2021. For the full year, Gap sees full year sales increasing by a mid- to high- teens percentage. Earnings are forecasts in a range of $1.20 to $1.35.
The Treasury has issued more than 130 million stimulus payments under President Biden's American Rescue Plan. Here's how to check your payment status.
When can Social Security recipients expect third stimulus checks? The IRS projects many COVID payments to be sent electronically by April 7.
The IRS will start refunding money to people in May who already filed their returns without claiming the new tax break on unemployment benefits.
The Internal Revenue Service has an important message for people who already filed their 2020 taxes before a valuable tax break became law. The exemption only applied to 2020 jobless benefits, but the problem was, around the time President Joe Biden signed the sprawling relief package in early March approximately 66 million households had already filed their 2020 income taxes. As the pandemic battered businesses, a peak of 23 million people were out of work in April 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In Zhuozhou, a small city in China's north, Zhu has stopped making mortgage payments on her apartment after its developer did not build a promised rail line that would have allowed residents to commute to Beijing for work. The accountant is one of some 1,000 home owners in the housing project who ceased payments in anger last year, according to Zhu and two other buyers campaigning for compensation who spoke with Reuters. "I didn't do anything wrong, so why do I have to bear all the consequences?" said Zhu.
Everything We Know About Kanye West And John Legend's Friendship
Friendships, what would we do without them? They seem to be the only ships that truly count when everything else fades away. Hollywood has had its fair share of celebrity friendships. While some of these stand the test of time, others never really take off .
Most, if not all artists are sensitive about their craft. It is very rare that an artist in an early stage of their career would give themselves a name that's an ego booster. Not Kanye. Known to be overconfident from the get-go, he rubbed some of his good old dose of self-belief on his friend. In a 2013 interview with television mogul Oprah Winfrey , John Legend revealed that Kanye played a large part in his choice of name.
The professional working relationship between John Legend and Kanye West was solid. So legitimate it was that when an early version of Kanye's 2005 hit resurface online, it was revealed that the vocals used were those of his friend, John Legend. As for how the song turned out when Jamie Foxx came into the picture, you already know the story.
Remember how we said the first meeting between John legend and Kanye West was more than a coincidence? Here goes nothing; when Legend finished his four-year run at University of Pennsylvania, he moved to New York. His then roommate just happened to be DeVon Harris, Kanye West's cousin. He introduced Legend to Kanye whose career had already taken off and the rest, as they say is history
Get Lifted was John Legend's debut album. Released collaboratively in 2004 by GOOD Music, Kanye's record label, Sony, and Columbia Records, the album has since been certified double platinum in the United States. Get Lifted went on to clinch a 2006 Grammy for best R&B album. It also earned him a Grammy for Best New Artist.
On Saturday, the 24 th of May 2014, Kanye finally said 'I do' to the world's most famous Kardashian. His musical roots were not spared on the day, as several performances graced the star-studded occasion. There to wow the guests with his number one hit All of Me was Kanye's longtime friend, John Legend, according to E! .
Kanye and John Legend's relationship went beyond the studio. When the two were not scheming on how best to disrupt the charts, their families mingled with each other. An adorable moment was captured in 2016 when Kanye and his now estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, shared a moment with Legend's first child, Luna Simone. John Legend's wife, Chrissy, was kind enough to bear it all on her snapchat.
The years leading up to a strained relationship between the two parties have been marred by difference in political stance. Kanye has publicly proven to be a Trump sympathizer, a complete contrast to John Legend's support for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
It's safe to say that Kanye's twitter rants, combined with Chrissy's critic of the Trump-led administration may have divided the former friends even further.
