Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Rogue Disposal & Recycling is a Medford recycling center where residents and small haulers drop off household recyclables. Located downtown, it’s the kind of place people use when curbside pickup won’t handle something or for extra sorting needs. The site handles the usual mix of recyclables and participates in the local Oregon approach to diverting materials from the landfill.
Pull up to an entrance booth or gate area; many Oregon centers have a scale or check-in point, so expect to stop briefly. The yard is likely a mix of roll-off bins and covered sorting areas, with separate containers for cardboard, mixed recyclables and other common materials. Signage usually points to where to unload and which items need to be separated, and neighborhood traffic can build up on weekends or during seasonal cleanups. Bring materials already sorted as much as possible to speed things along and watch for bottle return stations or instructions for deposit items, since Oregon commonly handles those separately.
