Riverside Recycling Facility

Riverside Recycling Facility at 910 Riverside St in Portland is the neighborhood spot where residents drop off household recyclables and the occasional larger item during seasonal cleanups. Centers like this typically handle paper, cardboard, glass, metal and many plastics, and sometimes run seasonal programs for electronics or bulky-item collection.

Drive in off Riverside St and there’s a small entrance booth with a scale; many places charge by weight, so be prepared to stop more than once. Pull up to the open bays where large roll-off containers and sorting bins sit - paper/cardboard, glass, cans and plastics are usually separated. The site looks industrial: paved or gravel yard, concrete blocks and steel containers, so expect a bit of dust and wear on the ground. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up and take longer than a quick drop-off.
