Questionnaire for Tenants

We’d like to hear from you about your experience with recycling! As part of the Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is asking people who live in multifamily housing communities about their experience with the recycling services offered. DEQ will use this, and other, information to produce a report to the Oregon Legislature with recommendations to improve recycling at multifamily properties. We may use quotes from this questionnaire in the report, and any information shared will be anonymous.

This questionnaire is open until August 1st 2024.
