4/29 - Oregonians are producing more trash than ever and recycling less, according to a report released in April by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).  

 

The report, which provides statistics for Oregon recycling in 2018, showed that our state's recycling and recovery rate, which peaked at 49.7 percent in 2012, fell to 40.8 percent in 2018.  The percentage of materials recycled in Oregon was at its lowest level since 2001 while Oregonians threw away more trash in 2018 than in any year since the state began tracking it in 1992.
