About This Location

This BottleDrop Oregon Redemption Center sits at 100 NW 20th Pl in Portland's Pearl District. Operated by the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC), it redeems Oregon-deposit beverage containers for the state's 10-cent refund. Customers can use self-serve kiosks (up to 350 containers per day), the Green Bag account program (drop a pre-tagged bag and get credited within about 7 days), or hand-counted returns. A BottleDrop account lets you skip the lines and track your refunds.

What BottleDrop Oregon Redemption Center (NW Portland) Accepts

✓ Oregon-deposit beverage containers (cans and bottles) (Qualifying containers refunded at 10 cents each)
✓ Green Bag account returns (Fill a tagged bag, drop it off, credited to your BottleDrop account (about 7 days))

What they do not accept

BottleDrop is a beverage-container deposit redemption center, not a general recycling drop-off. It does not take non-deposit glass, cardboard, household plastics, scrap metal or other mixed recycling. Only Oregon-deposit cans and bottles earn the 10-cent refund.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is each can or bottle worth at BottleDrop?

Oregon's beverage deposit is 10 cents per qualifying container, so each eligible can or bottle is refunded at 10 cents. With BottleDrop Plus you can get 20% more value when you take the refund as store credit at participating retailers.

Do I need a BottleDrop account?

Not to use the self-serve kiosks or hand-counted returns, but an account unlocks the Green Bag 'drop and go' program - you leave a pre-tagged bag and the refund is credited to your account within about 7 days, so you skip counting at the machine.

How many containers can I return in a day?

Self-serve kiosks accept up to 350 containers per day. Hand-counted, staff-assisted returns are limited to about 50 containers per day. The Green Bag account program is the easiest way to return larger quantities.

Can I bring regular household recycling or non-deposit bottles here?

No. BottleDrop only redeems Oregon-deposit beverage containers. Non-deposit glass, cardboard, household plastics and other mixed recycling should go in Portland's curbside recycling, not to BottleDrop.
