Recycling in Pendleton: A Local Guide
Pendleton, the seat of Umatilla County in northeastern Oregon, is home to two listed recycling facilities that each serve a distinct purpose: one handles Oregon's bottle-deposit redemption system and the other offers phone buyback for instant cash. Neither is a general household recycling drop-off.
The ecoATM at Walmart Supercenter, 2203 SW Court Ave, is an automated phone-buyback kiosk in the store's Grocery Vestibule. Pendleton residents can bring used or broken cell phones, foldable smartphones, and iPods/MP3 players and receive an instant cash offer — no appointment, no seller fee, no tablets accepted. The kiosk is open daily when the Walmart is open (6:00 AM–11:00 PM), and a valid, unexpired state-issued photo ID is required for every transaction.
The Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC) facility on Highway 11 is part of Oregon's statewide BottleDrop bottle-and-can deposit network. It accepts glass, plastic, aluminum, and steel beverage containers under 3 liters that carry Oregon's 10¢ refund value. This site operates by appointment only, Monday through Friday 9:00 AM–2:00 PM, primarily for scheduled container counts and nonprofit fundraiser can drives; call 971-400-6586 to book. For everyday walk-up bottle returns in Pendleton, the Safeway BottleDrop Dealer Redemption Center at 201 SW 20th St is the public option.
