The Recycling Plaza hosted by Schnitzer Steel

Recycle (for free) & raise money for charity at the Better Living Show.

Thanks to Schnitzer Steel, the Recycling Plaza is back at the 2013 Better Living Show. The Recycling Plaza offers you many different options for dropping off those things sitting around your property that you've been meaning to get rid of! Best of all, Schnitzer Steel is donating a check to the Oregon Food Bank for the full value of all acceptable metal recycled at the show.

What things can I bring for recycling or donation?
