Frequently Asked Questions

Does my business have to complete the City of Portland Progress Report?

All businesses, non-profit organizations and schools located within Portland city limits must complete a Progress Report annually. Property managers only need to complete forms for their office operations and not for the building(s) they manage.

Who at my business should complete the Progress Report?

The report should be completed by an individual within your organization that is familiar with your recycling practices. If your business has multiple locations, this could mean that one individual is able to complete the Progress report for each location. However, an individual at each location should be your designated a point of contact responsible for implementing your program.

Do I have to complete a Progress Report for all of my business locations?

Yes, a separate form must be completed for every business location. Still not sure? Use your BIN and RUN numbers as a guide (found on your Oregon state quarterly taxes). Submit a separate progress report for every location with its own RUN number.
