Comment Period  |  OR  |  August 10, 2026

Circular Action Alliance filed its 2025 Oregon annual report with DEQ on July 1, 2026, and DEQ is taking public comment on it until 5:00 p.m. Pacific on Thursday, September 10, 2026. There is no comment form. Comments go by email to RethinkRecycling@deq.oregon.gov. What this means for you: nothing is required of you and no deadline of yours moves. This is the first full public accounting of where Oregon’s producer fee money actually went in year one, against the $167.9 million collected. If you paid Oregon fees for 2025, it is the cheapest way to see what you bought, and it is the document to cite if you later want to question why a rate sits where it does. Comment is optional.
