The tri-county area has an active recycling program. In Portland and throughout most of the surrounding area, sorted recyclables are picked up at the curb weekly, with lawn and garden debris collected from every other week to once a month. Recycling containers are provided by the garbage hauler at no additional charge. Registering to Vote. A person may register to vote if they are a citizen of the United States by election day, will be 18 years or older by election day and are a resident of the state.
All elections are by mail.
Voters must be registered by the 21st day before an election. A change of residence, mailing address, name or party affiliation requires re-registration. A voter may notify county elections officials of these changes by sending a new voter registration card to the appropriate county. If the voter registration card is sent after the 21st day before an election, the voter should call the county elections official to find out how to remain eligible to vote in the election. Pet licensing requirements and fees vary by county.
