BRING
Recycling
Update
BRING Recycling is a non
profit organization dedicated to
the maximum reuse and recovery
of materials from the waste
stream. Through its comprehen
sive educational efforts and by
providing a full line recycling
service, BRING is successfully
spreading the practices of recy
cling, waste reduction, and con
servation.
BRING’s Educational Pro
gram includes slide shows,
speakers, displays and demon
strations, and tours of recycling
facilities. Each month BRING
makes presentations to hundreds
of school children and a wide as
sortment of community and civ
ic organizations.
BRING’s policy is to divert as
many items as possible from the
waste stream. In 1982, almost
1800 tons of glass, tin cans, alu
minum, scrap metal, motor oil,
batteries, and various types of
paper were collected and mar
keted.
BRING offers a Subscribing
Membership for $5 per year (tax
deductible) which provides
members with a quarterly news
letter and an invitation to the
BRING Annual Meeting in Jan
uary, as well as meetings of the
Board of Directors.
The newsletter, entitled The
Recycling Papers, is an informa
tive update on current activities
and legislation involving recy
cling, and features brief articles
by local supporters of the organ
ization.
Currently, BRING Recycling
is providing recycling services to
rural residents of Lane County
at seven area locations. Recycla
bles will be accepted at solid
waste transfer sites in Veneta,
Marcola, Vida, and Dexter; and
at landfill sites in Franklin, Cot
tage Grove, and Creswell. To
find out what materials are ac
cepted and what days these sites
are open, call BRING at
746-3023.
For more information about
BRING’s activities in general,

Box 885, Eugene, OR 97440 or
