Oregon’s Recycling Markets

In recent months, China has proposed a global ban to stop accepting post-consumer plastics and unsorted paper by January 1, 2018.  Until recently, China has been the world’s largest importer of recycled paper and plastic. This announcement has severely disrupted recycling markets worldwide with major impact in Oregon. 

Resident are encouraged to continue recycling, but to stop any “wishful recycling” which is putting an item into a recycling container that doesn’t belong, wishing it will be recycled.

Any items that are dirty or not on the list of materials accepted for recycling in your local market leads to contamination.  A good mantra to follow is, when in doubt, find out.

Contact your local garbage and recycling provider for a recycling guide or pick one up at Deschutes Recycling.  Follow the recycling guide and remember keep all types of plastic bags and film out of your recycling carts.

Compost Application

Our compost is rich in microbes and nutrients. Our product is "alive" with the nutrients needed to make your plants flourish.

Compost is not intended for direct planting because of the heat generated by the microbe activity in it.

For this reason, avoid planting directly in our compost products or top dressing lawns over 1/2" in depth. Always blend compost into existing soil for best results.

If you have any questions, please contact Deschutes Recycling at 541-388-1910.
