The City of Beaverton and its residents are
committed to a cleaner, greener, more sustainable
community. We’ve been recognized for our Green
Power leadership by the EPA and have long
been a Tree City USA member. We support the
U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection
Agreement efforts. Our local Beaverton Central
Plant, a highly-efficient heating and cooling plant,
has been acknowledged for government innovation
by Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of
Government. The City of Beaverton is also leading
the way with environmentally friendly development
practices and a sustainability committee that is
working to reduce environmental impact.
Every resident of Beaverton can contribute toward
sustainability in our community through our
residential and business recycling programs. This
book is designed to serve as your guide to recycling
and waste prevention in your home, at work and
throughout the City.
Beaverton residents can be proud to have one of
the strongest recycling programs in the state. The
2006 introduction of residential recycling roll-carts
resulted in an impressive 17 percent increase in
recycling volume. Looking to the future, we’ll
continue to explore and introduce new programs to
reduce impact on our local and global environment.
I’m pleased with our recycling efforts but know that
together we can continue to do more. Thank you for
your efforts to recycle!

House
Recycling at your house is easy, but there are guidelines to follow to make
the collection system function smoothly and efficiently.
Cart set-out
Cart preparation
LOCATION & TIME Place your
materials at curbside in front of your
home by 6 a.m. on your scheduled pick
up day.
Maximum allowable
weights The two most common
cart sizes are listed below; call your
hauler for limits on other cart sizes.
• 32-gallon garbage roll-cart
maximum is 75 pounds.
• 60-gallon yard debris or
recycling roll-cart maximum is
100 pounds.
COLLECTION DAY Garbage, yard
debris and recycling are all collected
weekly on the same day. Schedule
changes only occur due to inclement weather, Christmas Day and New
Year’s Day.
AVOID OBSTACLES Carts should
be at least three feet from basketball
hoops, trees, cars and other containers.
Do not block mailboxes at any time.
PUT CARTS AWAY Remove emptied containers from the curb as soon
as possible so they do not block sidewalks or become an eyesore.
OVERFILLED CARTS Do not
overstuff your roll-carts (garbage, yard
debris or recycling). Materials must
fall freely from your roll-carts.
NO HAZARDOUS/TOXIC
MATERIALS Do not dispose of
hazardous products in your roll-cart.
Contact Metro at (503) 234-3000 for
hazardous waste disposal information.

Apartment
Apartment recycling - what you can do
Look for recycling containers at your
apartment community (your property
manager should be able to tell you
where they are).
If recycling is not available at
your community, let your property
manager know that recycling is
important to you. Recycling services
are generally part of overall garbage
service.
Contact the City’s Recycling
Program to request a red tote
bag or for help recycling at your
community.

How to use your recycling tote bag
Durable, reusable recycling tote bags are available to residents in shared
service buildings throughout the City. The tote bag makes storing and
transporting your recyclables to depot areas as easy as:

GATHER
Gather your
recyclables into your
tote bag (all paper,
cardboard, cans,
plastic bottles and
tubs, glass bottles
and jars).
TRANSPORT
Use your tote bag
to transport your
recyclables to
your community
recycling area.
RECYCLE
Put the contents of
your tote bag into
the proper recycling
containers: glass in a

Work
What you can do to improve recycling at work
Cardboard, paper, aluminum cans, plastic bottles and tubs, and glass
are all essential parts of Beaverton’s standard recycling program. Most
businesses have a system for recycling cardboard and office paper, but
could easily expand to include containers and other paper products.
1

ONLY CARDBOARD If your company is only recycling
cardboard, there is more that could be done. Your company
probably already has the containers for mixed recycling and
glass collection, ask if the recycling program could be expanded.
ONLY SHREDDED PAPER If your office is only recycling
paper through a shredding service, you should consider
expanding your program to include paper that does not need to
be shredded, plastic bottles and tubs, metal and glass.
NEED HELP If you do not know where to start, call the
Recycle At Work Program to guide your company to the next
recycling level.
Free education and assistance is
available to make it easy for you to
start, maintain or improve a recycling
system that works for your business.
Services include:
• Kick off events to start or revamp
your program
• Advice on how to start a green team
• Free recycling boxes
• Educational materials — decals,
posters and other resources

Beaverton Recycles!
From A to Z
Aerosol cans
Garbage 
Recycling  Take to Depot 
Aerosol cans can be recycled if they are completely empty and the nozzle is
left on the can. The plastic cap/lid should be removed and put in the garbage.
Antifreeze
Garbage 
Recycling  Take to Depot 
Antifreeze cannot be mixed with motor oil for curbside recycling or placed in
your garbage. Used antifreeze is recyclable at Metro’s hazardous waste facilities (see page 15). Antifreeze recovery systems with recycling containers are
available from many automotive supply retailers.
Batteries
Garbage 
Rechargeable batteries: these batteries contain heavy metals. The preferred
environmental practice is to recycle them. Rechargeable batteries can be taken
back to many retailers or to Metro’s hazardous waste facilities. To find a nearby
retailer, please visit the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporations Web site
at www.rbrc.org.
Alkaline batteries: disposal of “household quantities” are allowed in your
residential garbage roll-cart.
In the workplace, consult with the person who handles hazardous materials for
specific information about recycling batteries at your business.
Bulky waste items Garbage  Recycling  Take to Depot 
Large or bulky items can be taken to a donation center, local
recycling center or picked up by your hauler (this service must
be scheduled in advance with a special service fee) or selfhauled to a landfill. Common bulky items include: refrigerators,
stoves, washers, dryers, couches, grills, building materials, etc.
Refrigerators may require a freon decommissioning fee.
Beaverton Recycles!
From A to Z
Caps and lids Garbage 
Recycling  Take to Depot 
Plastic caps and lids are not recyclable. Please remove caps/lids and throw
them in the trash. Caps, lids, tubs and bottles are often made of different kinds
of plastic resin. The shape and small size of caps and lids make them difficult
to sort; for example, yogurt tub lids get trapped in magazines or newspapers
and end up at a paper mill rather than a plastic recycler.
Metal caps and lids can only be recycled if placed inside a larger metal
container (such as a can) and the top section crimped shut to hold the contents.
Otherwise, flat metal lids frequently get caught between magazines or
cardboard and are not picked up by magnetic sorters.
Cell phones
Garbage 
Most cell phone providers have programs to take-back old phones for reuse,
recycling and/or proper disposal. Check with your cell phone provider when
you purchase a new phone or check online for “donate-a-phone” options.
Electronics
Garbage 
Many electronic components such as computers, monitors, and stereos contain
heavy metals, such as lead, and other toxic materials making them hazardous
to the environment. The State of Oregon has adopted an electronics recycling
program that will be implemented in 2009. Until the statewide program is in
place, your options for reuse or recycling include:
 Recycle or Donate Call the City Recycling Program to get information
about donation or recycling options. (See page
25 of this guide for a local recycling opportunity
and a rebate coupon.)
 Return to manufacturer Many equipment
manufacturers have take-back programs. Check
with local retailers or company web sites for
information.

Beaverton Recycles!
From A to Z
Foam (block & peanuts) Garbage 
Recycling  Take to Depot 
There are currently no recycling options for block foam (curbside or depot).
Some local mail courier services will periodically accept foam peanuts for
reuse in packaging. Call the retailers near you to find out if they are accepting
peanuts or if they are fully supplied.
Frozen food boxes
Garbage  Recycling  Take to Depot 
Although it looks the same as other food packaging, the paper used for frozen
food boxes is treated with coatings to improve the wet-strength of the paper.
The treatment keeps the package from breaking apart and protects the food
inside the package, however, the wax-like substance prevents the paper from
breaking down in the paper pulping process. Frozen food boxes are not recyclable.
Glass Garbage 
Beaverton residents can set out their glass every week. However, in an
effort to maintain Beaverton’s low garbage
rates, residents are encouraged to set out glass
bins only when they are full (or nearly full).
Apartment residents and businesses should find
out from property managers/owners about the
location of on-site glass recycling containers.
Glass must be kept separate from other
recycling. When glass mixes with other recycling, it often breaks and
damages processing equipment, creates risk to sorting crews and reduces
the market value of the paper mixed with it.
Why does my hauler sometimes skip my glass pick-up? There are three
common reasons: (1) You may have contaminated glass (food residue,
bags, etc.) in which case you will receive a note from your hauler;
(2) Your red bin was not visible to the driver; or (3) Your bin was not out
at collection time. Most of Beaverton’s recycling haulers use a separate
truck to pick up glass and recycling. Be careful not to assume the glass
truck has been by your house just because your mixed recycling was
already picked up.
Beaverton Recycles!
From A to Z
Hazardous waste
Garbage 
Hazardous products can pose a threat to human health and the environment if
they are not disposed of properly. These types of
products should not be placed in the trash, down
the drain, into storm drains or burned.
Metro’s free hazardous waste roundup events
take place weekly from March to November.
You also can take your toxic trash year-round
to Metro’s permanent hazardous waste facilities
seven days per week. For locations and a schedule call (503) 234-3000 or
check the Metro web site at www.metro-region.org.
To minimize risk from accidental spills or dangerous mixing of materials:
Keep products in original containers when possible. If a product does not
have its original label, you can label it if you are sure of the contents.
Make sure products are properly sealed to prevent leaks and spills.
Containers and boxes, including gasoline cans, cannot be returned to you,
so make sure you do not need the container for future use.
Do not mix products together. Dangerous reactions can occur when some
materials are mixed.
Do not put items in plastic bags.
Labels
Garbage 
Labels do not need to be removed from tin cans, plastic bottles and glass jars,
but you do need to rinse cans, bottles and/or jars clean of all residue.
Do you have a GLASS ONLY decal for
your red bin? Call (503) 526-2665 or visit www.
BeavertonOregon.gov/recycling to request this FREE resource.

From A to Z
Lights (tubes/bulbs) Garbage  Recycling  Take to Depot 
 Residents are encouraged to recycle fluorescent lights due to their mercury
content. Call Metro Recycling at (503) 234-3000 for details. Although
recycling is the preferred environmental option, residents can put tubes in a
garbage roll-cart if they are wrapped and taped in newspaper or contained
in the original packaging. They must fit entirely into the roll-cart to prevent
injuries to the garbage collectors and passersby.
 Light bulbs are not recyclable and should be placed in your garbage.
 Businesses should consult with the person who handles their company’s
hazardous materials.
Metal
Garbage 
Household metal can be recycled in your mixed recycling
and picked up by your hauler. Cans should be empty and
rinsed; aerosol cans should be empty with the nozzle left
on the can; scrap metal must weigh less than 40 pounds
and must not measure more than 36 inches in length (in any
dimension). If you have larger pieces of scrap metal, go to
the “Find a Recycler” link on the City web site or call for
more information.
Microwaves
Garbage 
Microwaves can be taken to local recyclers. Check the City web site or call us
for information about local options for safely recycling your microwave ovens.
Motor oil
Garbage 
Residents can put used motor oil in see-through one gallon, unbreakable
containers with a screw-top lid at curbside for recycling. Motor oil is picked up
by the glass/recycling truck, so you must set the oil next to your red glass bin.
The red bin serves as a “signal” to the driver, so even if you have no glass, but do
have oil, the bin should be set out.
Businesses must make arrangements with a commercial oil collection recycler.
Beaverton Recycles!
From A to Z
Paint cans
Garbage 
 Empty paint cans (metal or plastic) can be placed in your recycling
container once the paint has dried inside the can.
 Take partially full or full cans of paint to Metro’s hazardous waste
collection facilities or weekend roundup events for recycling. Do not pour
excess paint down the drain.
Paper
Garbage 
Paper products have long been part of the recycling program, but the old ways of
sorting have changed. Almost everyone says “yes” when asked if they are recycling paper — but are you recycling ALL the paper you could be? Review the
list below and see if you can add to your recycling:
 Cardboard (flattened and inside recycling roll-cart,
not beside it)
 Shredded paper (in a paper bag to keep it from
blowing away when being emptied into the
recycling truck)
 Newspapers (must be removed from plastic
delivery bags)
 Paper bags
 Magazines, catalogs and junk mail
 Telephone books
 Milk and juice cartons (emptied and rinsed)
 Scrap paper: cereal, cracker and cookie boxes
(sometimes known as paperboard; wax or
plastic liners removed), shoe boxes, envelopes
(window and labels okay), paper labels from cans, wrapping paper and
greeting cards (no foil or plastic coating), construction paper, paper towel
and tissue cores, paper egg cartons, photocopies, stationery, file folders,
computer paper, and brochures
Not recyclable: tissues and paper towels, paper with food residue, frozen
food boxes.
17
Beaverton Recycles!
From A to Z
Pet food/litter bags
Garbage  Recycling  Take to Depot 
Pet food and pet litter bags are lined with plastic, which makes them not
recyclable. Some bags are made with recycled content, but that doesn’t make
them recyclable.
Pizza boxes
Garbage 
Recycling  Take to Depot 
Food remnants should be thoroughly removed from the box; these materials attract pests and vermin during transport and processing. Grease stains should be
minimal in order for the box to be recycled.
Plastic
Garbage 
Plastic tubs, plastic buckets and plastic nursery containers (pots, trays and cellpacks) as long as they are rinsed clean (food, drink, soaps, cooking oil, potting
soil, etc.) are all recyclable in your recycling container.
 Plastic bottles (6+ ounces)
 Plastic tubs (4+ ounces; yogurt, margarine, cottage cheese, butter)
 Buckets
 Nursery pots/trays
 No plastic bags, plastic films or bubble
wrap — you can take plastic bags
to a recycling depot or local grocery
stores.
 No take-out food trays or containers
 No toys or garden hoses
 No lids or caps
 No block foam, styrofoam, polystyrene or foam peanuts
Regional Plastics Roundup Information Master Recyclers periodically
sponsors roundup events to collect a wide variety of plastic materials. Go to
www.masterrecycler.org for more information.
Beaverton Recycles!
From A to Z
Plastic bags
Garbage 
Put recyclable materials directly into your cart — not in a plastic bag. Plastic
bags are not allowed because they tend to get tangled up in sorting equipment
and cause costly shutdowns and repairs.
 No plastic garbage bags to hold recycling materials.
 No plastic grocery bags.
 No plastic newspaper delivery bags.
Many local grocery stores and the Beaverton Recycling
Center (at Highway 217 and Denney Road) collect used
plastic grocery bags for recycling — but they cannot be part
of your curbside recycling.
Sharps
Garbage 
Sharps (needles, lancets, and syringes) are hazardous waste and must be
disposed of properly. Do not place sharps into your garbage roll-cart.
Containers such as milk jugs and coffee cans are not safe for sharps storage.
 What to do with sharps: Your garbage collector is prohibited from
collecting garbage that contains sharps. Please return full sharps containers
to a certified biohazard disposal facility or talk to your local pharmacy.
 Metro Sharps Program: Metro’s hazardous waste facilities accept sharps
in approved containers. There is a one-time $5 container/participation fee
and then each time you drop off a full container, they will give you an
empty one in exchange to reuse. Please call (503) 234-3000.
 Sharps by Mail: Waste Management offers a safe, confidential, mailing
solution for sharps disposal with various container sizes and mailing
options. Please call (877) 927-8363 or visit www.wastemd.com.
Tires
Garbage 
Tires may be picked up by your garbage hauler (for a fee) or they may be taken
to a transfer station or landfill for recycling (for a fee). Please call the City Recycling Program or the Metro Recycling Hotline at (503) 234-3000.

From A to Z
Toner/ink-jet cartridges Garbage 
Toner and ink-jet cartridges are not acceptable in the recycling program.
Some local retailers have recycling, reuse or take-back programs. Ask for
options at the store where you buy your printer supplies.
Yard debris and wood Garbage  Recycling  Take to Depot 
Please remember as you prepare your yard debris:
Yard debris carts are picked up weekly in the City of Beaverton.
Please place your yard debris cart at the curb (not in the street) on your
scheduled day.
Include only leaves, grass clippings, garden waste, weeds, branches
and prunings (no greater than four inches in diameter and 36 inches in
length).
Contact the City or Metro for backyard composting brochures or information (see contact
information on page 19).
 Plastic bags cannot be used for yard debris.
If you have extra yard debris beyond what fits
into your cart, you may purchase kraft-paper
yard debris bags from many local retailers.
(Please note, there is an additional $3 charge
for each extra yard debris bag).
 A typical 60-gallon roll cart may not weigh
more than 100 pounds.
 No oversized items, dirt, sod, stumps, metal,
rocks, ashes, food waste, plastic, lumber, animal waste or household garbage.
 Do not overstuff the container — it may not
empty properly.
Call your hauler or contact the City’s Recycling
Program if you have additional questions about yard
debris collection.

How are we doing?
We’re making progress
Residents do a great job with recycling:
• In 2006, the area recovered 55.5 percent of all waste generated
• The goal is 64 percent by 2009 (set by the state legislature)
• Residential recycling volume increased by 17 percent from 2006 to
2007, according to a before and after study of recycling roll-carts
But we are producing more garbage
The amount of garbage generated per person is on the rise:
• In 1995, Oregon residents
produced 2,364 pounds
of solid waste (about 6.5
pounds per day)
• In 2006, this went up to
3,118 pounds per person
per year (about 8.5 pounds
per day)
What’s next?
Plans for the future of Beaverton Recycles include:
• Maintain a strong residential recycling program
• Encourage residential and commercial waste reduction
• Explore opportunities to implement residential and/or commercial food
waste recycling, with the development of local processing
• Enhance the Recycle At Work program to help businesses recycle
more of their waste
21

Where does it go?
My garbage
After garbage is collected by your garbage hauler, it is taken to a transfer station.
Most of Beaverton’s trash goes to a transfer station in Forest Grove. The garbage
is then transferred to large trucks that haul the garbage to landfills, located near
McMinnville or in Eastern Oregon near Arlington.
Learn how to prepare
your recycling
Visit www.BeavertonOregon.gov/
recycling and watch our “How To
Recycle in Beaverton” video.
Beaverton Recycles!
Where does it go?
My recycling
Recycling materials are taken to a local, privately-owned “Materials Recovery
Facility” (sometimes abbreviated MRF) that sorts the recycling both
mechanically and manually. The sorted materials are baled and transported to
markets throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. For example: paper goes
to paper mills, metal to metal smelters, and plastic bottles often get remade into
fibers (used in carpets and clothing).

Waste prevention
Reduce your junk mail
It is estimated that 44 percent of junk mail goes to a landfill unopened. If all of
the junk mail delivered in Beaverton in one year were placed end to end, it would
form a line more than 3,000 miles long. In addition to
wasting your time, junk mail wastes resources. Even if
you recycle all of your junk mail, there are still enormous
costs in terms of natural resources and energy used to
produce, deliver and recycle the paper.
The City of Beaverton and Metro offer
Junk Mail Kits that include direct mailing opt-out postcards that
will minimize the number of companies that share your home
address. Call us to request a copy. The removal process is not
immediate, but over time you should see a decline in junk mail
in your mailbox.
When you move
Moving out of your house, apartment or condominium can produce a lot of
materials that can be reused, recycled or thrown away. Please remember these
helpful hints when moving:

DONATION Items such as books, appliances, electronics, paint, furniture
and other household or bulky items can be donated to organizations such as
Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or a local church or community organization.

HAUL IT If you have more trash than will be accepted at your shared garbage
and recycling area, you can contact Metro’s
Transfer stations and/or Hazardous Waste
facilities at (503) 234-3000 for disposal
options. There are fees for disposal of many
of these materials.
