The District recycles up to 80 percent of the latex paint collected through the county's transfer stations.
Latex paints can be recycled at your local transfer stations on a daily basis. Only usable latex paints in
one-gallon or larger containers are accepted – no oil base, bad paint, stains or varnishes.
The collected latex paints are inspected for quality and sorted by color. The paint is reblended, filtered
and distributed to the community in 5-gallon buckets at a reduced price. Significant discounts are available
for registered non-profit organizations and government agencies. Colors subject to availability.

The District is part of a cooperative service project, with Georgia-Pacific and the Oregon Department of
Forestry, to provide FREE disposal of wood and yard
debris, including lumber, brush, pruned branches, stumps, shipping pallets, and
other clean woody debris.
During the summer of 2010 we
developed a partnership with Dahl Disposal Services to provide free residential
wood and yard waste disposal at their transfer station located 1/4 mile west of
Dairy Queen on Hwy 20 in Toledo.
Additional opportunities
to recycle these materials are available for a fee through North Lincoln
Sanitary, Thompson's Sanitary.
The District has a regional approach to the enforcement of illegal dumping. The Forest Enforcement Program
