News Release

Free Household Hazardous Waste Roundup In Oakridge On Saturday, May 2 - 04/23/26

The free Household Hazardous Waste Roundup will collect up to 35 gallons of household hazardous waste per customer on Saturday, May 2, in Oakridge. Hazardous waste from businesses, schools, churches, government agencies or non-profits may be subject to disposal fees and those organizations must pre-register for the event.

 

When:  Saturday, May 2, 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.

Where: Oakridge Fire Station (47592 Highway 58)

Who: All community members are welcome to participate in the roundup.

 

What to bring:

Up to 35 gallons of paint, household cleaners, lawn and garden chemicals, car care products, arts and crafts products, pool chemicals, fluorescent tubes and other household hazardous waste. Check labels for words like solvent, flammable, corrosive, poison, caution, and danger.

 

Please don't bring:

Empty containers, drums, radioactive or infectious waste, asbestos, pressurized cylinders, or explosives. Any empty containers can be safely thrown in the trash. For information about disposal of radioactive waste, asbestos or explosives call 541-682-4120.

 

What about hazardous waste from businesses?

Businesses that generate small amounts of hazardous waste may pre-register to bring that waste to this event. Businesses must pay for disposal of the waste, but most can save money by using this program rather than hiring a contractor.

 

Electronics recycling

The Cottage Grove, Creswell, Florence, Marcola, Oakridge, Rattlesnake, Veneta and Vida transfer stations accept the following items for free during normal operating hours: televisions, computer monitors, CPUs, printers, phones and laptops.  Maximum seven items per day. No commercial or floor-standing copiers, parts or dismantled units.

 

The free household hazardous waste collection events are made possible by the fees collected when commercial garbage haulers or residents bring waste to Short Mountain Landfill or one of Lane County’s 15 transfer stations.

 

Please call 541-682-4120 for more information about hazardous waste disposal for households or businesses.
