About the Fee
This fee covers 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 only
Non-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.
Results of the 2009 event:
