We've got a bin from GreenDisk<https://www.greendisk.com/gdsite/default.aspx> coming to recycle a bunch of audiobooks I'm weeding! They seem really promising, and take a LOT of tech waste.

Hi Karen,

We don't, though I think other Multnomah County departments might.

Have you tried Metro's Recycling Information Center? https://www.oregonmetro.gov/tools-living/garbage-and-recycling/ask-expert<https://us-east-2.protection.sophos.com?d=oregonmetro.gov&u=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub3JlZ29ubWV0cm8uZ292L3Rvb2xzLWxpdmluZy9nYXJiYWdlLWFuZC1yZWN5Y2xpbmcvYXNrLWV4cGVydA==&i=NWY4NDk1OGU5ODQyNTEwZGYxMWFkMDA0&t=VHc3MUMxZFZqKzlJc0ZyMWRuSkVEbm1oUEpqWkw3bXBxYlZwaWtiMGFhMD0=&h=890bf374280e4f0dab79110089cb6095>
They specialize in referrals for recycling and disposing all kinds of materials, though from what I gather it really depends on what local recycling companies are able to accept.  Most of their information is for the Portland Metro area, but I'm pretty  sure they serve the whole state.

It would be a trek from Cornelius, but the non profit SCRAP https://portland.scrapcreativereuse.org/<https://us-east-2.protection.sophos.com?d=scrapcreativereuse.org&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9wb3J0bGFuZC5zY3JhcGNyZWF0aXZlcmV1c2Uub3JnLw==&i=NWY4NDk1OGU5ODQyNTEwZGYxMWFkMDA0&t=UFo4cnFUd0tRaVVKbkpXcWJUR2ZCdWNMZk5kSDBDSGd2SlhWUTNMSHBqVT0=&h=890bf374280e4f0dab79110089cb6095> accepts all sorts of items for creative reuse.


Very good luck to you!

Is there such a thing as library green teams? I searched a bit online but didn't find anything. I know we recycle some but was hoping that there are libraries out there that have found resources for the CD cases that we toss.

Any ideas?
