Recycling in Medford: A Local Guide
Medford, the largest city in Jackson County and the commercial hub of southern Oregon's Rogue Valley, has two public-facing recycling drop-off facilities serving residents and businesses. The two sites handle very different materials — e-waste and deposit beverage containers — so knowing which to visit will save a trip.
Afterbits Electronic Recycling (247 E Barnett Rd #112) is Medford's dedicated e-waste drop-off, accepting virtually all household and commercial electronics — computers, laptops, CRT and flat-screen TVs, monitors, mobile phones, tablets, printers, stereo equipment, batteries, and holiday lights — free of charge Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Afterbits is an active Oregon E-Cycles collection site, meaning covered devices (computers, monitors, TVs, printers) are always free under Oregon's state program. Large appliances such as microwaves, vacuums, washers, and dryers are not accepted. Because the secured facility requires a trained specialist to assist with unloading, calling ahead at (541) 444-3322 is recommended. Qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits and schools receive free pickup and processing.
BottleDrop Redemption Center (1179 Stowe Ave) is Jackson County's full-service Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC) facility for redeeming Oregon Bottle Bill deposit containers — aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and glass beverage bottles marked OR 10¢. The staffed center is open daily 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and the secure exterior bag-drop door accepts pre-tagged Green Bags and Blue Bags from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Reverse vending machines accept up to 350 containers per visit; staff can hand-count up to 50 loose containers. The Green Bag program requires a BottleDrop account with a valid Oregon residential address. Wine in glass bottles and distilled spirits are not redeemable; canned wine became redeemable July 1, 2025.

Does Afterbits charge a fee for CRT televisions or large quantities of e-waste?
The Afterbits website does not list a fee for standard residential drop-off, including CRT TVs, and states there is no daily quantity limit. Covered devices under Oregon E-Cycles (computers, monitors, TVs, printers) are always free. For large-volume commercial loads, contact Afterbits directly at (541) 444-3322 to confirm any applicable fees.
