Recycling Collection for Commercial Customers

Recology Portland Recycle Cart For commercial accounts, we will pick up your commingle recycling carts and glass separately from your business. The carts will have a red sticker on the lid, indicating what should and should not be put into the cart.

We will help you start or expand a recycling program at your business or school. We will provide you with commingle carts and glass containers for your recyclables. Contact us for details.
