Oregon E-Cycles Program
The Oregon E-cycles program, a network of more than 250 collection sites and recycling facilities statewide that accepts unwanted computers, monitors, and TVs from the public for free, collected and recycled more than 24 million pounds of materials in 2010. This is a 27% gain over the program’s first year.
“These figures show this program is working and is effective in handling the vast amount of electronic waste that we all generate and need to dispose of properly,” said Kathy Kiwala, E-Cycles Specialist with Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Also contributing to the large percentage gain in the program is the ban on disposing of computers, TVs and monitors which went in effect Jan 1, 2010. This helped spur the public to find recycling sites where they could safely and conveniently dispose of these goods. Increased awareness of the ban has led to increased awareness of Oregon E-Cycles Program.
Proper recycling of electronics is important because they contain toxic metals such as cadmium, mercury, and lead. Also, recycling of these electronics leads to significant energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions.

Negus Transfer Station in Redmond accepts computers (desktops & laptops), monitors, computer peripherals (mice & keyboards) and TVs at no charge.
Negus Transfer Station is open Monday-Saturday,
8:00am-4:00pm, Closed Sundays.
