Recycling in La Pine: A Local Guide
La Pine, in southern Deschutes County, Oregon, has two public recycling facilities serving residents and self-haul customers. Together they cover standard recyclables, scrap metal, used motor oil, batteries, yard debris, tires, and appliances — making La Pine reasonably well-served for a rural high-desert community.
The Republic Services La Pine Recycling Center at 51420 Russell Road is a free drop-off site for standard recyclables: paper and cardboard (flattened), food and beverage cartons, plastic bottles and tubs (4 oz and larger, lids on), tin and aluminum cans, small scrap metal (under 10 lbs and 18 inches), and glass bottles and jars. It is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM, and closed weekends and major holidays. No residency requirement. The same address is shared with hauler Wilderness Garbage & Recycling, so call (541) 382-2263 to confirm same-day hours, particularly on Fridays.
The Deschutes County Southwest Transfer Station & Recycling Center at 54580 US-97 is operated by Deschutes County Solid Waste and is open Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 4 PM (closed Sunday). Free recycling includes commingled recyclables, flattened corrugated cardboard, glass bottles and jars, scrap metal (including microwaves), used motor oil up to 5 gallons per day, and lead-acid and rechargeable batteries. Household garbage, construction and demolition debris (up to 4 cubic yards per visit), yard debris, tires, and appliances are also accepted for posted county fees — for example, tires are $4 each, non-Freon appliances $8, and Freon appliances $20. Household hazardous waste, gasoline, and antifreeze are not accepted here and must go to the Hazardous Waste Facility at Knott Landfill in Bend.
