The time has come! The Oregon Recycling Modernization Act is here and you can now recycle more in your curbside Mixed Recycling roll cart. The entire state is rolling out the same list of recyclable materials throughout the next two years.
We have worked closely with the Department of Environmental Quality, other waste haulers in Oregon, and the recycling Material Processing Facilities to make sure all recycling materials are reaching responsible end markets and you can be sure your efforts are making a difference.
The NEW recyclable items are:
- Plastic tubs (larger than 2" in two dimensions; PET #1, HDPE #2, & PP #5)
- Plastic nursery pots (HDPE #2 & PP #5)
- Plastic buckets, pails, storage containers (has to fit within the roll cart; HDPE #2 & PP #5)
- Food cartons (polycoated & aseptic)
- Beverage cartons (polycoated & aseptic)
See the photos below for a full list of what is now recyclable in your curbside Mixed Recycling roll cart! We will be spreading the word through our website, your billing information, and our App (North Lincoln Sanitary).
