Recycling​

​

Cottage Grove Garbage Service has begun replacing the green and yellow 14 gallon recycle bins with blue 65-gallon roll carts.

 

When you receive a blue 65-gallon roll cart, your green or yellow bin will be removed and you will have the opportunity to commingle all the items listed on the Uniform Statewide Collection List in your blue recycle cart. 

 

Beginning June 1st, glass will no longer be accepted. However, it can be recycled at the Lane County transfer station on Sears Road.

 

​On your service day, place the blue recycle cart curbside and make sure it's 5 feet away from your garbage cart, any vehicle, pole, mail box, tree, fence or any other physical obstruction.​

 

Only place your recycle cart out when it's full. All material must be loose inside the cart - do not compact material. Material set outside the cart will not be picked up.

​

Do not place trash, glass or any other material not listed on the Uniform Statewide Collection List (USCL) in your blue recycle cart.​​​

 

Per Oregon laws regarding contamination reduction, a household's or business' recycle cart may be removed for multiple recycling contamination events.​

Your efforts to recycle right make a difference!​
