Important Information for Eugene Area Recycling
International market fluctuations are driving changes in the way recycling is processed in our area. Effective April 9, 2018, the waste haulers that serve customers within the City of Eugene will began only accepting a redefined list of items for recycling. Please visit our Recycling information page for more information.
Contamination reduces the economy and effectiveness of our recycling system. Plastic bags, take-out food containers, plant pots, and lids of any kind should never be placed in commingled recycling bins. Any items that are not clearly recyclable should be put in the trash—when in doubt, throw it out. You can also download our Recycling Flyer that shows what items are accepted and what items are not.
