Oregon E-Cycles
The Oregon E-Cycles law makes it is illegal to throw away televisions, computers (including laptops and tablets), monitors, printers, keyboards, and mice. For an extensive list of free locations to recycle these items visit https://www.oregon.gov/deq/ecycles/Pages/default.aspx.
Customers with more than 7 of these items may contact an electronics recycler such as Garten Services (503-581-4472). Garten Services erases the information on the hard drives to the Department of Defense's standards and will reuse them if possible. For a fee, they can provide a document of destruction. Call 503-581-4472 for more information. For information on how to avoid data theft and instructions on how to obliterate your hard drive, visit the Department of Environmental Quality's website: https://www.oregon.gov/deq/ecycles/Pages/default.aspx
