Recycling Changes

July 2025 means the start of expanded recycling for your blue cart! Oregon's Recycling Modernization Act taking effect this month meaning you can put more items in your comingled recycling cart with the list being the same for the entire state.

This has been a collaborative effort between Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality, waste haulers, and recycling facilities to create a standard recycling list for the state as well as establishing responsible recycling markets.

PLASTIC additions are tubs, buckets, and rigid plant pots. #1, #2, #5 only.

CARDBOARD additions are food and beverage cartons.

We'll be mailing waste guides directly to customers, signage at the recycling center will begin to be updated, as well as statewide messaging.
