Recycling in Bend: A Local Guide
Bend has 10 recycling centers and drop-off sites in our Oregon directory. Curbside service in Bend is provided by Republic Services, whose blue commingled cart accepts paper, flattened cardboard, metal cans, and rigid plastic bottles and tubs loose in the cart — with glass kept separate in its own bin, not inside the cart. Items like batteries, light bulbs, textiles, plastic film and foam are not accepted in the commingled cart. For those materials, plus scrap metal, electronics and household debris, Bend relies on the drop-off sites below, anchored by the county solid-waste system.
The Bend network centers on its public facilities. Deschutes County Solid Waste (Knott Landfill) and the co-located Deschutes Recycling on SE 27th Street are the main public drop-off hub. For scrap metal there's Radius Recycling, and under Oregon's bottle bill the BottleDrop Redemption Center pays back deposits on eligible cans and bottles. Electronics and printer supplies are handled by Printer Resources & Recycling and Recycle-Laptops. Check each listing for accepted materials, fees and hours before you go.
If a Bend site doesn't take your material, other Central Oregon and Willamette Valley cities add options. Browse recycling centers in nearby Redmond, plus Eugene, Salem and Portland, or see the full Oregon listings to compare locations and hours across the state.

What goes in the Bend curbside recycling cart?
Bend's Republic Services commingled cart accepts paper, newspaper, flattened cardboard and paperboard, metal cans, aluminum foil and trays, and rigid plastic bottles and tubs (6 oz. or larger). Glass bottles and jars go in a separate bin, not inside the cart. Batteries, light bulbs, textiles, plastic film, foam and plastic clamshells are not accepted in the cart — take those to a drop-off site in our Bend listings.
Where is the public recycling drop-off in Bend?
The main public drop-off is Deschutes County Solid Waste (Knott Landfill) and the adjacent Deschutes Recycling on SE 27th Street, where residents drop off recyclables, yard debris and household waste. Fees apply for some materials and for landfill disposal, so check the county's rate schedule and hours before you go.
Where can I return cans and bottles for the deposit in Bend?
Oregon has a 10-cent deposit on many cans and bottles under the state bottle bill. The BottleDrop Redemption Center on NE 2nd Street pays back deposits on eligible containers, including through BottleDrop account bags you drop and go. Check its hours and accepted container types before you visit.
Where do I recycle electronics in Bend?
Electronics are not accepted in the commingled curbside cart. In Bend, Recycle-Laptops and Printer Resources & Recycling handle computers, laptops and printer supplies, and the county drop-off also accepts some electronics. Oregon's E-Cycles program covers free recycling of computers, monitors and TVs at participating sites, so confirm accepted items and any fees first.
