Recycling in Eugene: A Local Guide
Eugene recycles under two overlapping systems. Curbside recycling is included in the cost of garbage collection, but the city doesn't run its own trucks: collection is handled by licensed private haulers under Oregon's Opportunity to Recycle law, which requires recycling service for every curbside garbage customer in cities over 4,000 people (eugene-or.gov). On top of that, Oregon's landmark Bottle Bill adds a 10-cent deposit on most cans and bottles that you redeem at BottleDrop sites. This directory lists 12 recycling and redemption facilities across Eugene. For other Oregon cities, see our Oregon recycling hub.
The listed centers reflect that split. For the deposit refund, the BottleDrop Redemption Center on W. Broadway and the BottleDrop location on Division Ave. let you cash in cans and bottles. The first BottleDrop in Western Oregon actually opened in west Eugene back in 2014. For scrap metal, Radius Recycling and Pacific Recycling are major buyers, and NextStep Recycling focuses on electronics and computer donations. Yard debris goes to operations like Rexius and Lane Forest Products.
For more options around the region, Portland has the state's largest listing with 33 centers. Closer to Eugene, check Salem and Albany up the valley, plus Bend and Redmond in central Oregon. Browse every listed city on the Oregon hub.
