Recycling in Eugene, Oregon
Eugene does not run its own municipal trash trucks: curbside garbage and recycling are handled by licensed private haulers, primarily Sanipac (part of Waste Connections), under rates and rules set by the city. Recycling is included with garbage service and most materials go commingled in one bin, but glass has to be separated into its own container at the curb. Lane County Public Works runs the transfer stations and the region's only landfill, Short Mountain, just south of Eugene, while nonprofits like BRING Recycling handle reuse and hazardous-material education alongside the county's own programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who picks up recycling in Eugene, and is it included with garbage service?
Eugene does not operate its own collection trucks. Curbside garbage and recycling are handled by licensed private haulers, with Sanipac serving most of the city, and recycling service is bundled into your regular garbage bill rather than billed separately. Most accepted materials go into one commingled recycling bin, but glass bottles and jars must be kept separate in their own container at the curb.
What can I put in my curbside recycling bin in Eugene?
As of July 2025, Eugene moved to Oregon's Uniform Statewide Collection List, which accepts newspaper, mixed paper and cardboard (flattened, including clean pizza boxes), paperback books, aseptic cartons like milk and soymilk containers, plastic bottles and jugs plus rigid plastic tubs and buckets, steel and aluminum cans, and small scrap metal under 10 pounds and 18 inches. Items like take-out containers, plastic bags, shredded paper, aerosol cans, foil, and hoses or cords are not accepted and belong in the trash even if they carry a chasing-arrows symbol.
Does Eugene really require glass to be recycled separately from everything else?
Yes. The City of Eugene's official guidance is explicit that unbroken glass bottles and jars go in their own separate glass bin, with caps and lids removed, rather than into the commingled recycling. This is a distinct step from most of the mixed-bin recycling and is one of the more common points of confusion for new residents.
Where does household hazardous waste and electronics recycling go in Eugene?
Household hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, batteries, and similar items) is handled by Lane County Waste Management by appointment only at the Glenwood Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center, 3100 E 17th Ave in Eugene; residents bring up to 35 gallons and call ahead to schedule a drop-off time. Computers, monitors, laptops, and TVs are banned from Oregon landfills, and Lane County participates in the state's free Oregon E-Cycles program for smaller quantities of electronics, with additional statewide drop-off sites listed through Oregon DEQ.
What's the deal with the 10-cent bottle deposit and BottleDrop in Eugene?
Oregon passed the nation's first bottle bill back in 1971, and the current refund value is 10 cents per qualifying beverage container. Eugene has a full-service BottleDrop Redemption Center at 2105 W Broadway, open 8am to 6pm daily, where residents can return containers through reverse vending machines or drop off pre-sorted Green Bags for counting, and it's separate from regular curbside recycling.
Eugene Recycling Tips
- •Keep glass out of your regular recycling bin. Eugene and Sanipac require unbroken bottles and jars to go in a separate glass container with caps removed, not mixed in with paper and plastic.
- •Bulky items like furniture and appliances aren't curbside recycling. Sanipac runs a paid ReMoving Van bulk-pickup service in Eugene, Springfield, Veneta, Creswell, and nearby areas, and items need to be curbside and prepaid before the scheduled date.
- •Household hazardous waste requires an appointment. Call Lane County Waste Management at 541-682-4120 to schedule a drop-off at the Glenwood Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center before hauling paint, chemicals, or batteries over.
- •Computers, monitors, laptops, and TVs cannot legally go in the trash in Oregon. Use the free Oregon E-Cycles program (available through Lane County and other listed collectors) for small quantities of electronics.
- •For anything unusual, use Lane County's Waste Wise tool or Sanipac's own Waste Wizard before tossing an item. Both let you search a specific item to see whether it's recyclable, hazardous, or just trash, which matters since Eugene's accepted-materials list changed in mid-2025.
