RecyclePlus

RecyclePlus is a new doorstep service provided by Cascade Disposal to customers in the City of Bend. We will collect your recyclable items that cannot go in your blue commingle recycle cart, and will be recycled instead of put into the landfill.

Nope! RecyclePlus works in tandem with your regular curbside recycling and garbage collection. RecyclePlus expands your recycling capacity to include items that have customarily been landfilled.

RecyclePlus collects the following items: household batteries, light bulbs, textiles, plastic film, Styrofoam/ block foam and plastic clamshells. In the future, we hope to add more specialty items for collection in the future of the program.

Nope! Just let us know via the app you have something to be picked up and we will come and get what materials from the accepted list you have put out. If one week you only have batteries and lightbulbs, no problem. If the next collection day you have all the items, that is no problem either.

The cost is $10 per month for the rental of the box and bags and $5 per pick up. The charge will appear on your regular billing statement.

We will deliver to you a durable, metal storage box (14” tall x 13” wide x 13” deep, weighs 10.9lbs), four cloth bags (to be used for: textiles, plastic film, batteries, and lightbulbs) as well as two plastic bags for the white block Styrofoam (yellow bag) and the plastic clamshells (purple bag). You collect what materials you have and place them in the respective bags and then set the full cloth bags in the metal box and place the full plastic bags outside next to the box. You will receive a reminder notification on your pickup week asking if you want us to come by that week, simply click and select “YES.” Our friendly staff member will be by to collect your items and return the empty bags back to your box by the end of that week.

The metal box is designed to be left outdoors, there is no need to bring your box inside after collection day, unless you want to. We ask that the metal boxes are left in a place that is visible from the street for our RecyclePlus drivers. We ask that you do not place the box curbside, especially if you have our other regularly scheduled services that day too. The metal box and bags can be confusing for our other drivers, and we don’t want them accidentally picking up the materials that are meant to be recycled.

We recognize that the Styrofoam and plastic clamshells won’t fit inside the provided metal box, and we would you like you to place those full bags next to your metal box. We purposefully provided the larger plastic bags to be able to fit those larger materials and to help keep them dry and protected from the elements. We will empty those plastic bags and return them to you.

Every other week on Wednesdays! You can use the Cascade Disposal app to be alerted the Sunday night of your collection week. Just access the app at least the night before pickup to let us know to come by! You can also call or email our customer service team to request pick up.

No! Just make sure your items are placed in the box by 6:30am on your collection day and our team members will be by to collect them.

1. RecyclePlus is a convenient service that allows you to declutter your home and feel good about doing your part to help the environment.
