Agilyx

It is not up to them to put bins where it is convenient for you. Save them up until you are going through Tigard and then drop it all off at once. Work with your neighbors if you don't own a vehicle and do a neighborhood drop off. It isn't that difficult to find a solution.

Yes, they do. The bins are available 24/7 so you can go when it is convenient for your schedule. Just make sure it is clean Styrofoam.

Dear Mark, No, the Tigard plant is only converting polystyrene plastic at this time.

Agilyx only accepts #6 plastics, NOT #1. Styrofoam is a #6 polystyrene as well. I hope that helps!!

Unfortunately, that type of foam contains flame retardants and can not currently be processed at this facility.

If they are rigid, so that they break, you can assume they're PS. If they are soft and flexible, such as some packing pads, they are not PS.

The bins are outside their building and there isn't a gate keeping you off the property at night. I spoke with someone on the phone and she mentioned I could drop off a whole Honda Pilot filled to the brim with Styrofoam at any time.

Linda, No, that is not a polystyrene foam so we can't accept it here. Our Facebook page has a flyer in the photos section that give examples!

Not that I'm aware of

Dear Ron, No, the Tigard plant is only converting polystyrene plastic at this time. If it has a #6 we can take it!

Nancy, If it is a #6 polystyrene container, we can recycle it here. Drop boxes are open 24 hours/day at 13240 SW Wall Street in Tigard. Other drop off locations are listed on our Facebook page, in Services.

We accept plastics marked as #6. This can be expanded into foam, such as coffee cups, meat trays, and packaging, or molded. Check out our flyer with examples on our Facebook page!

Yes, they take stryofom peanuts.

No

Yes, they do.

I brought on 5' long chunks, no issue.

The plastic bin you saw is for plastic, clam shell shaped take out boxes. Plastic to-go containers with #6 recycling ♻️ symbols go in that bin.

Only number 6 plastics.

No.

Dear Anthony, No, we do not export plastics.

Dear Ing, All of the info you received was correct! Some clamshells are #1, some are #5 and others are #6. The ones marked with the 6 can be recycled here.

It's a free service! They're amazing!

You may but it is mainly for recycling

We accept #6 only. You can stop by our drop bin today.

We are closed to the public but you cann still drop off on saturdays

If you squish and release it, and it goes back to it's original shape. Agilyx doesn't recycle it. If you try to bend it and it breaks, that's the stuff they take!

They recently added a dumpster for other regular recycling, but they don't process the cardboard. It gets picked up.

I can tell you that right now, the plastics market is rough. I work for a recycler, and the fact that Agilyx is taking #6 is a miracle. We are literally landfilling all other chemistries right now because of the issues with the Chinese markets no longer importing combined with the lack of reuse potential due to a good number of factors. Sorry to say, but there isn't anything to be done currently.

Your local grocery store will most likely have a bin by their front doors that accept clean plastic bags. Qfc, Winco and Freddie's all have them at the stores I go to.

We accept all #6 recyclables
