Collection of Recyclable Materials

(1)

DEQ may not require any city, county, or metropolitan service district, or agent thereof, to collect or receive source separated recyclable material which has not been correctly prepared to reasonable specifications which relate to marketing, transportation, storage, or regulatory agency requirements. The specifications for material preparation must have been publicized by the appropriate city, county or metropolitan service district as part of the education and promotion program requirements in OAR 340-090-0020 (Opportunity to Recycle), 340-090-0030 (General Requirements), and 340-090-0040 (Local Government Recycling Program Elements).

(2)

In addition to the provisions set forth in ORS 459A.080 (Prohibitions against removing or mixing recyclable material), no person shall dispose of source-separated recyclable material which has been collected or received from the generator by any method other than reuse or recycling except for used oil and wood waste which may be collected and burned for energy recovery.

(3)

Commercial and residential recyclable materials that are source-separated for collection on-route or on-site but that are not correctly prepared according to reasonable specifications as set forth by the city, county or metropolitan service district under section (1) of this rule may not be required to be collected and may be left with the generator of the source-separated material or may be collected and prepared for recycling by the collector, but may not be disposed of by the collector. The generator of the material must be provided with written information that explains correct material preparation for the purposes of educating the generator.

(4)

Unauthorized materials that are deposited by the generator at a recycling depot are exempt from the prohibition in sections (1), (2), and (3) of this rule and must be managed in the appropriate manner otherwise required by law.

(5)

Collected recyclable material later found to be contaminated with hazardous substances are exempt from the prohibition in sections (1), (2), and (3) of this rule and must be managed in an appropriate manner otherwise required by law.
