Gresham Recycling Solid Waste

Gresham Recycling Solid Waste is the recycling center on NW Eastman Parkway that locals use for dropping off mixed recyclables and larger household items. Neighbors, DIYers, and anyone cleaning out a garage tend to show up here because it's the nearby spot for keeping things out of the landfill. The place handles the usual residential recycling and some special material streams common in Oregon.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to slow down - there's usually a scale or weighing point near the driveway so vehicles stop twice: once in, once out. The site is primarily open-pit with rows of bins and roll-offs; common materials like cardboard, paper, metal, plastics, and glass are handled here, and there's often a separate area for items that need special processing. Pulling up close to each bin helps if unloading by hand; larger loads will require backing up to drop-off points. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so weekdays are noticeably quieter.
