About Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative

Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative is the industry steward of Oregon's bottle deposit and redemption system. Through our BotttleDrop Redemption Centers and partnerships with retailers, we collect nearly all the containers redeemed in Oregon, return deposits to consumers, and provide a high quality source of recycled raw materials for manufacturers.

We are a not-for-profit cooperative business made up of over 150 Oregon beverage distribution companies. Our workforce of more than 500 employees provides a fast, easy, and accountable system for recycling beverage containers. And, just as Tom McCall envisioned it more than 45 years ago, we deliver a cleaner, greener, Oregon at zero cost to taxpayers.

We are a growing company with a track record of innovation. In just the last year, we've added 14 more locations for people to return their empties, while also expanding capacity at our processing plants so that we can accommodate higher recycling rates and more container types with redemption value. We will continue to expand in the future with even more locations, new partnerships to help raise money for non-profit community groups, and new programs that will build on our leadership in container recycling.
