The other day I posted two upcoming recycling events for block foam and electronics. Here’s an update with more information about those two events plus holiday recycling info for your tree.
Lake Oswego Holiday Recycling
What to do With Your Holiday Tree
Boy Scout troops are collecting trees at George Rogers Park for a small donation ($6) on December 30, 31, January 1, 2, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on January 7-8, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
You can also cut up the tree and place it in your yard waste container for pick-up on your regularly scheduled service day.
Those without yard waste collection service, such as Home Owners or Condo Associations, should contact Allied Waste directly at 503-636-3011 to arrange for a group pick up.
Remove all tree stands, ornaments, tinsel, lights, and other non-organic decorative materials.
Free Electronics Recycling

Lake Oswego Junior High School parking lot
At this event, you can recycle: computers, laptops, monitors, printers, ink cartridges, cables, keyboards, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, cell phones, batteries, cameras, PDAs, washers/dryers and ovens/stoves. In addition to this event, you can recycle electronics free year-round through Oregon E-Cycles.
Block Foam Recycling

Recycle your holiday packaging at the City’s annual block foam recycling event at the at the West End Building parking lot (4101 Kruse Way). Only clean and dry block foam (aka Expanded Polystyrene or Styrofoam®) will be accepted. Colored foam is okay, but, please, NO packing peanuts or pellets, foam rubber, or food packaging. The cost is $5 per car load or $10 per pick-up truck/van/SUV load. Read more about this recycling event.
