LIVE wineries are continuing this recycling option for all Willamette Valley wineries (regardless of LIVE membership status). To facilitate greater recycling rates, a few wineries have offered to act as recycling Hubs, including one in McMinnville! Please read the general and Hub-specific guidelines that follow, and spread the word.
General Guidelines
- #4 plastic ONLY - Clean / Dry / Clear. In today's challenging recycling environment, our vendor now asks plastic to be stored indoors and must be clear.
- Super-sacks are required. Drop your winery’s #4 plastic in super-sacks. These are available from Agri-Plas or from the HUBs below.
- PLEASE - DO NOT leave plastic loose at a Hub. If neither you nor your local Hub have a super-sack available, please stop by Agri-Plas directly to drop off your plastic and get some super-sacks for your facility.
- Read Hub-specific guidelines below. If you would like to offer your facility as a Hub, let us know.
- Questions and suggestions can be directed to Kevin Green on behalf of LIVE's winery program. Email kevin@apolloni.com or call 503-914-9160. Additionally, you can call or drop off at Agri-Plas directly (503.390.2381; 5016 Waconda Rd NE, Brooks).
