Please help keep our employees safe and do not put batteries or battery containing devices like laptops or battery operated toys in the garbage or recycling.

Batteries can spark and cause fires. Battery-caused fires in garbage trucks and waste processing facilities have increased in recent years. These fires put workers’ lives in danger and can cost millions of dollars in damage.

To prevent fires, separate batteries from other waste and tape the ones most likely to cause fires. Drivers take the bagged batteries out of the glass bins and separate them from the glass during collection.

Oregon's recycling contamination is 24%! This means close to 1 out of 4 items in the recycling don't belong. 😲 Recycling can be confusing, especially if it's been awhile since you've had a refresher! That's why we will be doing a multi-part series on recycling to help you relearn what's allowed and not allowed. 🫵 You can do your part and make sure you're recycling correctly.

Part 1: Plastics!

Keep up on the latest from Pride Disposal & Recycling including company news, schedule alerts, and more.

Tuesday Recycling Tip! Did you know that if batteries aren’t properly disposed of, they can cause fires, burns, and other environmental damage? Batteries do NOT belong in your garbage or recycling carts. This includes batteries found inside kids’ toys, musical cards, remotes, laptops, and other household items. We offer separate curbside battery collection in all jurisdictions that we service! Batteries are collected on the same schedule as your glass recycling. We also accept household batteries at our depot for a charge of $2.00 per quart. Car batteries are accepted at the depot for no charge. Keep batteries out of your carts and help keep our community safe!

Here at Pride, we are used to seeing these trucks every day, but most people don’t realize the engineering behind them. Check this article out to see how a garbage truck really works. We are proud to work in an industry that helps keep our communities clean!

Behind every trash day is a powerful, sophisticated machine.

We can pick up your junk and large bulky items (things that would not otherwise fit in your garbage cart) from your home. There is a fee for this service, but it's more affordable than you think! For example, a standard size couch picked up curbside would cost you approximately $53 - $72. This cost reflects the pickup fee and a per item charge, the rates are based on the jurisdiction you live in.

We are the ONLY provider that is licensed by your jurisdiction and allowed to provide these services in your area. The rates we charge are set by your city or the county, depending on where you live. All items we pick up are disposed of or recycled responsibly and safely.

Contact our office today to schedule!

Sometimes not everything you want to dispose of can fit in your garbage cart. In these cases, Pride Disposal & Recycling can come to your home to haul your bulky and oversized materials away and dispose of or recycle them.
