Lane County's recycling programs collected and recycled over 11,700 tons of materials in 2006.

Stretched end to end, the 1,649 tons of mattresses we've recycled, would reach  over 81 miles.

In order to protect future residents of Lane County, over 125 tons of hazardous materials were diverted from the landfill for recycling or safe disposal. 

Over 20 tons of plastic film was collected at our 16 transfer stations last year.

Stretched end to end, the fluorescent lamps collected for recycling last year would reach 139 miles.

The Public Works Department provides Lane County residents with waste management services through a network of 16 disposal sites and the Short Mountain Landfill.

Waste reduction and Recycling programs are emphasized in order to conserve resources and prevent waste.  Special and Hazardous Waste programs are offered to provide for the environmentally responsible management of hazardous wastes and to minimize risks to our future community.

Lane County's Short Mountain Landfill received over 262,000 tons of garbage from area residents and businesses last year.  Through a partnership with Emerald Peoples Utility District (EPUD) the Short Mountain Landfill provides enough electricity for approximately 1200 homes.
