ROSEBURG, Ore. — Douglas County Solid Waste will host a free household electronics recycling event later this month in Roseburg, giving residents and small businesses a chance to safely dispose of unwanted electronic items.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Roseburg Transfer Station, 165 W. McLain Ave.
Douglas County is partnering with St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County and Oregon E-Cycles for the event, which is open to Douglas County residents and small businesses.
