Signage

Clear signs for your garbage, compost, and recycling are important to make sure the right thing gets to the right place. One major challenge is that recycling infrastructure is different across the state and across the country - meaning that what is collected for recycling in Bend is different from what is collected in Madras, or Prineville, or Portland, or Newport. So, it’s important to learn to recycle right across communities, especially when we travel.

Sorting waste properly helps ensure the recycling system operates smoothly. Set your family, community, guests up for success to recycle right by posting signage. This signage applies to recycling and composting guidelines throughout Deschutes County.
