Portland runs a three-container curbside system, and glass is the quirk that trips up newcomers: it never goes in with your other recycling. Paper, plastic, and metal go in the blue recycling roll cart, glass bottles and jars go in a separate glass-only bin (the yellow one), and food plus yard waste go in the green compost cart. Garbage is collected every other week, while recycling and compost are picked up weekly. Since the 2020 Recycle or Not campaign, Portland decides plastics by shape, not by the number stamped on the bottom.
Paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal go in the blue recycling roll cart. For plastics, ignore the recycling number and go by shape: bottles and jars with a neck, jugs, tubs, buckets, and rigid plant pots are accepted. Glass does not go in this cart. It has its own bin.
No plastic bags or stretchy plastic, no plastic lids or caps unless screwed on, no plastic take-out containers, cups, plates, or cutlery, no plastic containers smaller than 2 inches by 2 inches, and no coffee cups or frozen food boxes. Anything not shaped like a bottle, tub, bucket, or jug is out. When in doubt, leave it out to avoid contaminating the load.
Portland collects glass in a separate glass-only bin because broken glass mixed into other recycling can injure sorting staff and damage machinery. All colors of glass bottles and jars are accepted, and it is fine to leave labels on. Drinking glasses, dishware, window glass, mirrors, and light bulbs are not accepted.
Metro operates two transfer stations that take household hazardous waste and many hard-to-recycle items for a fee. Metro Central is at 6161 NW 61st Ave, Portland, OR 97210, and Metro South is at 2001 Washington St, Oregon City, OR 97045. Hazardous waste facility hours differ from the main transfer station hours, so check before you go.
Oregon E-Cycles is a free statewide program for recycling computers, monitors, and TVs, financed by electronics manufacturers. It is illegal to throw these items in the trash in Oregon. You can find drop-off sites through the program, and Metro transfer stations also handle electronics.
