Sunrise Enterprises announces that, effective January 1, 2025, it will no longer serve as a collection partner for the Oregon E-Cycles program. The decision follows a thorough assessment of our participation costs, which conservatively exceed $42,500 annually. After careful consideration, we have informed the relevant government agencies and want to provide the community with ample notice of this upcoming change.

Until the end of 2024, Sunrise will continue to accept up to seven e-cycle items per donor at our warehouse and retail locations throughout Douglas County. In line with the program’s requirements, we will not accept more than seven items per individual or household donation.

Sunrise Enterprises remains dedicated to serving the Douglas County community. By exiting the E-Cycles program, we can reallocate valuable resources to enhance our support for individuals with disabilities by investing directly into our people, processes, and properties. This realignment will allow us to better fulfill our mission and expand the opportunities we provide to our community.

For information on alternative E-Cycles drop-off sites and additional recycling options in Oregon, we encourage the community to visit the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality at www.oregon.gov/deq/ecycles/.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
