Recycling in Prineville: A Local Guide
Prineville, the seat of Crook County, gives residents three distinct recycling and waste options within a few miles of each other — each handling a different slice of the waste stream.
For general waste and comprehensive recycling, the Crook County Landfill at 110 SW Landfill Rd is the primary destination. Open Monday through Saturday 8 AM–4 PM, the county facility offers free drop-off for flattened cardboard, glass bottles and jars, automotive and alkaline batteries, and up to 25 gallons of used motor oil per residential visit. Tires, appliances, and electronics are accepted for separate fees: passenger tires run $5–$8 each, appliances $3–$15 depending on type, and broken electronics $3–$5. In-county residents with a Crook County ID pay lower gate rates for general waste ($69/ton, $12 minimum) than out-of-county users. The landfill periodically hosts free appliance days and yard debris days — dates are posted on crookcountyor.gov.
For curbside-style commingled recycling, the Republic Services Recycling Depot at 1751 N Main St Suite B provides a free, 24/7 self-service drop-off. Residents leave commingled recyclables (paper, plastics, cans), cardboard, and glass in separate outdoor bins — no account or registration required. A free mattress and box spring recycling program launched in June 2026 at the same location, available Monday–Friday 9 AM–4 PM. The customer service office shares the address and is staffed Mon–Fri 8 AM–4 PM at 541-447-5208.
For used tire processing, Liberty Tire Recycling operates an industrial facility at 7374 NW Oneil Hwy, open weekdays 8 AM–3:30 PM. This licensed Metro solid waste facility primarily serves commercial tire generators and dealers; residents with individual tires are better served by the Crook County Landfill's fee-based tire drop-off.
Nearby Oregon communities with recycling services include Redmond, Bend, Madras, and John Day. For statewide guidance on Oregon recycling programs, see the Oregon recycling directory.
