THIS JUST IN
The Plastic Project has agreed to a partnership with Green Century Recycling in Portland. Green Century Recycling will set up a drive-thru drop-off in the parking lot across from First Baptist Church during our collection events.
Green Century Recycling collects all Styrofoam and packing peanuts. There is a $10 charge for each 45 gal. bag of Styrofoam.
E-waste is also collected, free of charge, from cell phones to large appliances. Questions? Call 503-207-5482
What is The Plastic Project?
Founded in 2021, our mission has been to reduce plastic waste in Yamhill County.
Why do we need The Plastic Project?
Plastic curbside recycling is very limited, so we collect hard-to-recycle containers to keep them out of incinerators and landfills.
