Help Spread the WordYou can help make the event a grassroots success. Please print and post the Plastic Round-up flier and/or the Plastic Round-up leaflets in prominent locations, or save and email it to friends and family.Event LocationsJackson County Expo, 1 Peninger Road in Central PointAshland National Guard Armory, 1420 E. Main Street in Ashland Pre-Sort PlasticPlastic MUST BE PRE-SORTED into 3 categories: soft plastic, hard plastic and nursery plastic. Please see the Plastic Round-up flier or the longer list for acceptable items and more details.Fee*Residential cars and pick-ups - $5.00 per vehicleBusinesses and large loads - $5.00 per yard About the FeeThis fee will cover the cost of the event, including the freight fee to transport the plastic to the recycler, and rentals of the two event venues. If successful in covering event costs, JCRP will be much more likely to continue the Round-up as an annual, and possibly semi-annual, recycling opportunity. Asking homes and businesses to bear the expense of managing their own waste enables JCRP to offer the event; JCRP does not sell or earn money on the plastic. Also noteworthy: to dispose of the plastic at the Rogue Disposal Transfer Station for landfilling the fee would be a minimum of $16.50, so it is also an opportunity for consumers to save money.Businesses and large loads onlyNon-residential OR loads larger than a pick-up truck ONLY! You can pick-up large collection bags in advance and bring the plastic ready for drop-off. For more information, please email info@jcrecycle.org, and include your name, phone number and the type of plastics you have.The Plastic Round-up is organized and sponsored by: Jackson County Recycling Partnership, Jackson County SMARTWorks and Jackson County Master Recycler Program.
