E-Waste Recycling Update



Since the new statewide program took effect January 1, 2009 where televisions, computers, laptops and monitors could be recycled for free, Deschutes Recycling has collected over 300,000 pounds since the New Year.


Residents can bring up to seven of these items per visit and recycle them for free anytime during normal operating hours of Monday - Sunday from 7:00am - 4:30pm, closed holidays.


All other computer peripherals such as keyboards, mice and other electronic items can be recycled for a fee.
