In the first ongoing national effort of its kind by a retailer, Walgreens will install safe medication disposal kiosks in more than 500 drugstores in 39 states and Washington, D.C., primarily at locations open 24 hours.

On Saturday, March 12, 2016 at the HIstoric Elsinore Theatre, the Straub Environmental Center will present the 2016 Mid-Valley Green Awards. 

Many people inside and outside our industry don’t know the fine details of our redemption system. This interactive infographic, designed by AOR's Legislative Chair Justin Gast, gets them started.

I am a Production Worker at Free Geek. I tally up the items that people donate and I also supervise volunteers as they sort through bins of donated materials and separate them according to what can be sold in our store/online and what should be recycled.

AOR Member Recology has developed a Sustainable Valentine's Gift Guide just in time for the holiday.

The Newberg Graphic reports that the former SP Fiber Tech mill, which was purchased by WestRock Co. and idled indefinitely last year, is now permanently closed.

210 mill employees were laid off in mid-November, and the last 15-20 employees who have been burning up the remainder of the hog fuel in the boiler and preparing for the facility shut down have been let go as well.

The Northeast Recycling Council has begun a project through the State Electronics Challenge to explore the practice and the prevalence of public sector auctioning.
