It costed me $113 to dump my truck bed full of logs that I unloaded in less than 5 minutes? Nice place but extremely pricey.

Very well set up and organized for the amount of junk they work with. TVs, Microwaves, ect. has additional charges / no refrigerators or old ac but everything else is part of the $32 a ton fee. I dumped a fully loaded 15 ft truck with an old microwave and paid $40. Very glad I went; will definitely go back.

It's best to go in a vehicle with some ground clearance. I went in with my sedan and the potholes were numerous enough I was dodging this way and that, while the pick-ups behind me waited for me to snake my way through them. It looks like they pretty much take everything though, and their process was streamlined. Idk how much gets recycled, but it was an easy drop off.

Awesome place to go dump garbage. Super easy and quick in and out. Prices are the best around with a $30 min and $115 per ton. Took 1900lbs and it was $127 out the door.

Do you take asbestos?

Susan Sinn | Jan 12, 2019
Environmentally Conscious Recycling (Owner) | Jan 13, 2019

This is an important question, Susan. No, we do not accept asbestos containing materials. Protecting the safety of our customers and employees is the highest priority at Environmentally Conscious Recycling. Asbestos is known to cause lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma, an aggressive and deadly form of cancer. There is no safe level of exposure to asbestos. ECR’s operating permit, issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), prohibits the acceptance of materials that contain asbestos.
