Read more →Oregon Recycling Center is the local recycling drop-off on Storytown Road that county residents use to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors bring household recyclables, occasional bulky items and material from yard cleanups. Winters in Wisconsin can mean different hours and procedures, so expect things to shift seasonally.
The site looks like a small county facility with a drive-up entrance and a customer booth near the road; it feels more functional than flashy. Common materials handled at centers like this include cardboard, paper, glass, cans, many plastics, electronics and yard waste, and there may be special collection programs for items that don’t fit in curbside recycling. Vehicles usually pull up to a check-in point before being directed to drop-off bins or a larger collection area; if weight matters, many county sites use a scale for charged loads. Weekends and spring cleanup days get the longest lines, so plan accordingly.
