Thanks to efforts in Oregon to recover materials for recycling, composting, and burning for energy, the state continues to see sizable energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions. At the same time, per-capita waste generation in Oregon is 18.6 percent below 1992 levels.

Every dollar in new memberships earned by AOR in January will be matched by an anonymous donor, up to $1,000!

AOR brings you the latest industry news, educational opportunities, event listings, and job postings related to materials management in Oregon through its publications, as well as puts on a fabulous annual conference and other forums on hot topics. But AOR is so much more!

As of Jan 1, 2015, Oregon E-Cycles, the state's electronics recycling program collects printers and computer peripherals (keyboards and mice) in addition to computers, monitors, and TVs. The program, administered by AOR member the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), just completed its sixth year of collecting and recycling electronics.
