Recycling

Contact Metro 503-234-3000 or http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/by.web/id=24197 for answers to all of your recycling questions. As of January 1, 2009 all TVs and computers can be recycled for free.

Plastics

St. James parishioners have the opportunity to recycle many plastics at church. The recycling area is located in the hall between the narthex and the office. Boxes are designated as to type of material. Currently the plastics are being taken to Far West Fibers on Denney Road in Beaverton. For information about recycling at church, contact Elizabeth Johnson. Check here for details on what plastics can be recycled.

Electronics

In addition to plastics recycling, we are able to recycle electronics through Escrip. A green box in the recycling area is designated for these items. St. James can earn money by collecting empty laser and inkjet cartridges, used cell phones, iPods, and laptops. The more we collect, the more we earn! Escrip refills the ink and toner cartridges and refurbishes the other items and resells them. St. James can earn from $.50 an ink cartridge to $20 for a laptop. For information about recycling electronics at church, contact Cynthia Reynolds.
