Businesses account for as much as 1/3 of the trash heading to our local landfill.  This is in the form of tons of office paper, cardboard, office furniture and accessories.  Douglas County businesses are making the simple step to start recycling and the County can help. 

If you're a business in the Downtown Roseburg area, you are eligible to participate in a convenient recycling program created just for you.  Through a grant from DEQ, recycling stations have been placed throughout the area.  Office bins are available at further reduced costs plus training and waste analysis services are available at no costs to you.
