Community Plastics Collection

Lane County Waste Management offers plastic collection for #2, #4, #5 plastics to "registered" community collectors. Only #2, #4, and #5 tubs, bottles and jugs are accepted. Items must be stamped and presorted by both shape and number. Items must be clean and dry.

NEW (Nov. 2023):
Labels no longer need to be removed with the exception of prescription bottles. All labels must be removed from prescriptions for security and privacy reasons.

To find a volunteer community collector near you, please email [email protected] with your name and complete address, including zip code.


If you are interested in becoming a registered community collector, please email plasticscollection@lanecountyor.gov with your name, address and phone number. New community collectors attend a 20-minute orientation at Glenwood Transfer Station. Orientation is by appointment and is limited to two (2) persons at a time.

Thank you to our sponsors Camas Country Mill and Mountain Rose Herbs for providing bags to the program. We couldn't do it without your generous support.
