Happy to team up with our friends at James Recycling for another collection event.

Green Century will be onsite collecting e-waste free of charge as well as EPS Styrofoam for a fee of $10 per 45 gallon bag.

The James Recycling depot will be open on Saturday, July 25th, from 10am to 1pm.

We are located at 5541 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway in Portland.

What we will be taking:

•  Caps, straws, and utensils
• #1 PET clear with no color such as berry clamshells and salad containers
• #2 HDPE such as Pak-Tek 6-pack holders and small white supplement bottles   
• #4 LDPE such as snap-on lids
• #5 PP such as take-out containers, prescription pill bottles (with caps removed), lids, and cups
• #6 PS rigid plastics such as clear take-out containers and to-go plastic coffee cup lids
• Styrofoam – Please note that Styrofoam must be clean, dry and without tape, labels, glue, ink, paint, food residue & sorted into the categories shown HERE. 
• “Squishy” foam – Polyethylene foam – looks like Styrofoam but it’s squishy
• Electronics and small appliances.  See full list of accepted items HERE

ALL ITEMS MUST BE CLEAN, DRY, AND SORTED

Styrofoam, “squishy” foam, small appliances and electronics will be collected in the parking lot.  If you only have these items, please go directly to the outside collection area.
