The Douglas County Solid Waste Department, a division of Douglas County Government, is teaming up with St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County and Oregon E-Cycles to host a free to the public household electronic e-cycling event in Roseburg on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

The free to the public household electronic e-cycling event will take place at Douglas County’s Roseburg Transfer Station located at 165 West McLain Avenue in Roseburg, Oregon. The event is free and open to all Douglas County residents and small businesses. If you have more than 7 devices that you plan to e-Cycle at this event, please contact St. Vincent de Paul prior to the event at (541) 513-4288.

E-CYCLING is the recycling of old electronics. The following devices will be accepted at this event - computers, laptops, tablets, TVs, printers, monitors, keyboards, mice, networking devices, scanners, fax machines, VCRs + DVD players, cable & satellite equipment, stereo + audio components, servers & switches, routers + hubs + modems, cell phones, cameras + photo equipment, av equipment, video game systems, power tools, cords + chargers, loose + scrap wires, Christmas lights, hard drives, and miscellaneous computer parts. They ask that you leave the following items at home - loose batteries, hazardous waste, vacuum cleaners, gas-powered tools, large kitchen appliances, glass-containing items (e.g. microwaves), light bulbs, and lighting ballasts. Please dispose of these in a proper manner.

E-Waste is a serious problem. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is any electronic product that has reached the final phase of its life cycle and cannot be used anymore. The world produces 50 million tons of electronic waste a year, becoming the world’s most quickly growing waste source. Sadly, no more than 20% of e-waste is properly recycled, with the other 80% being dumped in landfills or being unproperly recycled. If it is not properly recycled, e-waste can have a negative impact on our environment by releasing toxins, heavy metals, and pollution into the air, soil and water. It is also one of the leading causes of landfill fires. Questions Contact: Daven Stetson at St. Vincent de Paul at (541) 513-4288 or by email at daven.stetson@svdp.us. E-you there on April 25!
