Recycling
In Eugene, curbside recycling service is included in the cost of garbage collection. Most recyclable materials accepted should be commingled in your curbside bin, with glass collected in a separate container.
Lane County’s Waste Wise tool can give you more information about what can currently be recycled and where. Simply type the name of the items you have a question about recycling into the Waste Wise tool. This tool can also help you find out how to make an appointment to dispose of hazardous waste or report illegal dumping, and more.
Statewide Changes to Recycling Systems: July of 2025
In 2022, Oregon’s legislature passed the Recycling Modernization Act to update our state’s recycling system by leveraging packaging producer resources to create more resilient and comprehensive recycling opportunities for Oregon residents in the future. These recycling program changes will begin in July 2025 and will expand access to recycling services, upgrade recycling sorting facilities, and reduce plastic pollution. Information on how this new law will affect how we recycle in Eugene will be available here as changes are implemented locally.
Below is a current list of what can be recycled curbside in Eugene:

Recycling FAQs
Intro to Recycling Old Lawn Mowers
But first, can you recycle a lawn mower? It’s hard to know since recycling anything other than everyday paper, plastic, metal, and (sometimes) glass can be a bit of a mystery.
Because lawn mowers are generally made of metal and rigid plastic components, they are, essentially, recyclable. But, put simply, having an old lawn mower recycled is a little more complicated than chucking it in the blue curbside bin.
⚠️ Before we go any further into lawn mower recycling, it’s important that no matter what you do with your old lawn mower, you must make sure it is completely drained of oil and gasoline.

Recycling Old Lawn Mowers Near You
There are more ways to recycle an old lawn mower than hauling it over to Home Depot or your local recycling center. When we usually think of recycling, what comes to mind is the municipal recycling facility with all of its crushing, ripping machines and giant equipment.
The truth is, sending stuff off to someplace we equate with recycling isn’t the only way to recycle, and it’s actually usually the least effective form of recycling out there.
Instead, consider these alternative forms of lawn equipment recycling first when looking for used lawn mower recycling in your area:
- give it to a neighbor
- give it to a friend or family member
- donate it to charity or a nonprofit organization
- sell it on. Craigslist, LetGo, etc.
- sell it for parts or scrap at a junkyard
Obviously, if your old lawn mower is pretty beat up or doesn’t work anymore, you don’t want to choose any of the first four options in that list. If you decide to donate your used lawn mower, it is important that it is still in good, working condition.
Disposing of Old Gas Oil From a Lawn Mower
As mentioned before, no matter how you decide to get rid of your old lawn mower, you have to remove the gas and oil from it before going any further.
If you’re wondering where to take old lawn mowers to be drained, visit a mechanic or a repair shop to pay them to drain the gas and oil if you don’t feel good doing it yourself.
However, this is a fairly simple process that you can do yourself if you’re handy.
Here’s how to drain oil from a lawn mower:
- Use a siphon hose to drain the gas out of the tank and into a clean container. It’s best to use a siphon hose with a hand pump attached.
- Next, unplug the spark plug wire and tilt the lawnmower on its side with the carburetor facing up in the air. Remove the center bolt or bolts that hold the blade in place and carefully slide the blade off the lawnmower.
- Position an oil catch pan under the mower and remove the oil reservoir plug to drain the oil into the pan. The oil reservoir plug location can differ from mower to mower, but it’s usually found under the blade at the center of the deck on a push mower.
⛽ Pro Tip: Never use your mouth to siphon gasoline out of a lawn mower.
If you have a riding lawn mower, the plug should be located on the side of the engine block. You can then take the used oil to an auto parts store or mechanic who can recycle the oil and do small engine disposal for you for a small fee.
However, you will need to dispose of the gas as well, so it’s probably best to take the gasoline and the oil to your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) disposal facility.
If you don’t know where your HHW facility is, you can find out by checking your city or municipality’s website or by giving them a call.
How to Donate Your Old Lawn Mower
You can call around to different charities in your area to see if they’ll accept donations of lawn mowers, big or small, whether they offer pickup services, and what rules and restrictions they have for donating a lawn mower, such as if they accept riding lawn mowers or even old lawn tractors.
While some charities do offer pickup (for a fee) of donated items that are difficult to haul in a car, chances are you will likely need to haul your old lawn mower to a donation center to drop it off.
In fact, no matter how you decide to go about recycling your old lawn mower, it’s highly likely that there will be some hauling involved on your part.
Because most people don’t own a truck or other hauling equipment, it’s a great idea to consider having a junk removal company pick up their your lawn mower to safely dispose of it for you instead.
Selling an Old Lawn Mower
If you’re still looking for where to take old lawn mowers to you and end up bringing the mower in one piece to a scrap metal yard near you, they’ll most likely only pay you the price of aluminum breakage, or dirty aluminum that’s contaminated with steel.
The value of your used lawn mower increases greatly if you disassemble it and separate the different metal and plastic parts from the components that can’t be scrapped. This is because the scrap yard will pay more if they don’t have to spend the money buying used lawn mowers and then also the time taking it apart and cleaning it themselves.
If all else fails, you can always haul your old lawn mower to your nearest recycling facility and drop it off there for you.
Lawn Mower Recycling Pickup Services
Deciding to get rid of your old lawn mower is one thing, but actually figuring out how to do it in a responsible way can be a headache.
Most people aren’t able to leave their old or broken lawn mowers on the curb for their municipal trash removal service to haul away, because most trash services won’t pick them up. Plus, not everyone has the vehicle needed to haul these items to the local recycling center if there is one.
If you just want to be done with your old lawn mower but don’t want to add it to the already overflowing waste stream, having a professional junk removal company pick it up can be a truly eco-friendly option.
Lawn mowers and other landscaping equipment can be cleaned of any fuel residue, broken down into its metal and plastic components, and the materials used in the production of new lawn equipment or other products.
When you call the junk removal pros at LoadUp to pick up and recycle lawn mowers, we’ll also take any yard equipment and you’ll save you tons of time and energy. LoadUp offers easy haul-away and eco-friendly disposal for all kinds of lawn equipment and just about anything else you need to get rid of around the house.

History of John Deere Riding Mowers: The 1980s
At John Deere, the 1980s were a time for evolution and reaching milestones. In addition to introducing new designs, such as the R and S Series, John Deere also manufactured its millionth lawn and garden tractor during this decade!
Deere Goes Diesel
In 1984, Deere’s first tractor to combine a diesel engine with hydrostatic drive and power steering made quite the impression in the tractor industry. This impressive machine was the John Deere 430, which was very similar to the 420 model, but powered with a Yanmar 3-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine instead. The 430 weighed 1,170 lbs, making it the heaviest and strongest John Deere of its time.
Evolution of the 300 Series
The redesign of the 300 Series led to the introduction of the 318. What was great for customers was that many attachments of the 140 and 300 Series could still be used on the new model 318; however, many exciting features were added:
- Rear-frame redesign from “closed” to “open” configuration
- Annunciator lights implemented into the dash panel
- Square-shaped fender deck
- Reserve fuel tank for increased productivity
The best part? During this time, John Deere hit the big 1 million milestone – manufacturing its millionth lawn and garden tractor, with the 318 model outselling any other models.
The R and S Series
As we know, Deere always looked to accommodate customers managing both big and small operations, which is why the R Series and S Series were introduced.
The R Series (R70, R72, and R92) was a good fit for customers needing a solution for smaller pieces of land. Key features included 5-speed gear-drive transmission, in-line gearshift, full-length welded steel frame, and a tight turning radius of 27 inches. This provided operators with even more dependability, long equipment life, as well as on-the-go shifting.
For those with a lawn slightly bigger than what was fit for the R Series to undertake, Deere produced the S Series riding mower (S80 and S82). These machines had a 30-inch cutting width, electric start and 8 horsepower engines.

John Deere Riding Mowers in the 1990s
Not to be undermined by the previous decade, the 1990s carried on the trend of growth for John Deere lawn and garden tractors. With the introduction of several new models, including the LT, LX, GT, and GX series, John Deere hit 2 more exciting milestones before the close of the millennium.
Exponential Growth
The 90s were known for many things but for Deere specifically, this was a time for exponential growth in both numbers and technology. In the 1990s John Deere hit both the 2 million and 3 million milestones, manufacturing its 2 millionth lawn tractor with the LX188 model and its 3 millionth tractor with the LT133 in 1998.
This is certainly a sentiment to how the company increased sales during this time; however, it’s not the only thing Deere was working on during this time. Let’s look through a few landmark models that were critical to the history of the John Deere riding mower.
LT Series
In the late 1990s, the LT Series (133, 155, and 166) became one of the most popular John Deere mowers ever. With this series, operators could experience high-quality wide cuts and a greater amount of fuel compared to competitive models in its class. An emphasis was put on comfort with the adjustable operator seat for those who spent long hours on their equipment The new Xenoy material instead of steel-hood also kept this machine in better condition.
LX Series
The LX Series was first introduced in the 90s and remained for 16 years to follow. Customers remember this series for its versatility, as each model was compatible with several sizes of mower decks to meet operators’ needs. The LX Series was also great for a variety of other projects around the yard. For example, owners could latch a snow blower attachment to the machine to help fight off winter storms.
GT and GX Series
The GT and GX Series were very similar to one another when it comes to style and uses. For customers with plots of land around 4 acres in size, both machines can hook up to other implements like snow blowers, baggers, carts, front blades and a variety of rear attachments like aerators, and utility carts. These machines were best fit for owners who needed a little more power and size for their weekend activities.
Check out the charts below for a complete list of riding mowers by model, year and serial number.
John Deere Riding Mowers in the 2000s
Last but certainly not least, Deere made a few noteworthy updates to existing models in the 2000s. The FOCUS here has largely been around offering more power to customers thanks to models in the LA and X Series.
LA Series
This model combines power and versatility to make a perfect fit for medium-large-sized lawn owners. Key features include the full-length steel welded frame, full pressed lubrication, cast iron front axles, headlights, translucent fuel tank including a sight gauge, comfortable operator station, Edge Cutting system, and option for Reverse Implement. Backed with plenty of power, this series also incorporates John Deere’s trademarked CargO Mount system, allowing for a large bagger or other heavy rear-mounted equipment to be easily attached. Other attachments like lawn sweepers, front blades, tractor shovels, mid-mount blades, carts, snow blowers, sprayers, and aerators can be easily added to the LA.
X Series
What’s unique about this series of John Deere riding mowers? The technology is what sets this machine apart, as it transfers power to the wheels through the use of the hydrostatic transmission to save time during operations and eliminate unnecessary gear-changing to speed up or slow down. The X Series also incorporates the Edge Cutting System and tight turning radius. This all helps improve convenience, performance, and reliability.
The charts below provide a full list of these riding mowers by model, year and serial number.

Our Story
Our Rich Heritage
Inventor John Regier recognized the simple need for a riding mower that could maneuver irregular landscapes, so he set to work creating a mower from farm machinery and mower parts. The mower could hug a flagpole or reverse directions at a fence with a turning radius of zero. With this, the world’s first zero-turn mower was born.
Excel Industries
Mr. Regier couldn’t maintain the production demand, so he brought his design to Excel Industries. Excel wanted to expand its product line and when they saw the mower in action, they knew the product would revolutionize the mower industry. Under the direction of company president Roy Mullet, Excel began production at its plant in Hesston, Kansas and introduced the Hustler in 1964.
