Recycling centers in Sandy

The Clackamas County Garbage and Recycling Transfer Station sits outside Sandy on SE Canyon Valley Road, open Thursday through Monday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and closed Tuesday, Wednesday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Garbage, heavy demolition debris, refrigerators, furniture, mattresses, and tires are taken for a fee, and loose loads must be covered. Recycling covers curbside paper, metal, and plastic, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, scrap metal with liquids removed, wire, electronics, vehicle lead acid batteries, and up to five gallons of motor oil a day. The on-site RecycleOn Center takes shredded paper in a taped paper bag, plastic bags and stretchy plastics, loose caps and lids, and rigid 6-pack handles. Household hazardous waste and suspected asbestos debris without documentation are refused.
