Information Share - Electronic E-Cycling Event - Oct. 10, 2026
From Douglas County Government

The Douglas County Solid Waste Department, a division of Douglas County Government, is teaming up with St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County and Oregon E-Cycles to host a free to the public household electronic e-cycling event in Roseburg on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

The free to the public household electronic e-cycling event will take place at Douglas County’s Roseburg Transfer Station located at 165 West McLain Avenue in Roseburg, Oregon. The event is free and open to all Douglas County residents and small businesses. Please note that there is a seven-device limit per person or small business at this event.

E-CYCLING is the recycling of old electronics. The following devices will be accepted at this event - computers, TVs, printers, monitors, keyboards, mice, gaming devices, networking devices, AV equipment, power tools, cords + chargers, Christmas lights, miscellaneous computer parts and more. They ask that you leave the following items at home - loose batteries, hazardous waste, vacuum cleaners, gas-powered tools, large kitchen appliances, glass-containing items (e.g. microwaves), light bulbs, and lighting ballasts. Please dispose of these in a proper manner.

E-Waste is a serious problem. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is any electronic product that has reached the final phase of its life cycle and cannot be used anymore. The world produces 50 million tons of electronic waste a year, becoming the world’s most quickly growing waste source. Sadly, no more than 20% of e-waste is properly recycled, with the other 80% being dumped in landfills or being unproperly recycled. If it is not properly recycled, e-waste can have a negative impact on our environment by releasing toxins, heavy metals, and pollution into the air, soil and water. It is also one of the leading causes of landfill fires. Questions, contact: Douglas County Solid Waste Department at (541) 440-4485 or for more details on e-cycling visit: https://www.oregon.gov/deq/ecycles/pages/consumers.aspx. E-you there on October 10!

DFPA NEWS RELEASE: DFPA Lightning Response

Tiller, Ore: During the evening of Tuesday, September 1, 2026, several lightning strikes were reported in the Tiller, Oregon, area. At approximately 9:47 p.m., crews from the Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA), Tiller Rural Fire Protection District, Days Creek Volunteer Fire Department, Milo Rural Volunteer Fire Department, Canyonville-South Umpqua Fire District, and Riddle Fire Protection District began lightning reconnaissance and response efforts.
Crews located two lightning-caused fires in the area near Tiller Trail Highway and worked overnight to secure the incidents. An additional lightning-caused fire was located during the morning of September 2, 2026.

1610 Fire
Crews located a single lightning-struck tree with an estimated 0.01-acre fire spread into nearby vegetation. DFPA crews trailed the fire throughout the night and transferred command of the incident to the Umpqua National Forest, Tiller Ranger District, on the morning of September 2, 2026.

Joe Hall Fire
Crews located two lightning-struck trees with an estimated 0.01-acre fire spread into nearby vegetation. The fire was trailed and mopped up by responding crews before being transferred to the Umpqua National Forest, Tiller Ranger District, on the morning of September 2, 2026.

Elk Creek Fire
During the morning of September 2, 2026, crews from DFPA and Cow Creek Tribal Fire Management located a single lightning-struck tree with an estimated 0.1-acre fire spread into nearby vegetation. Crews initiated an aggressive initial attack, knocked down the forward spread, and have currently lined 50 percent of the fire. Crews will continue working the fire until mop-up is complete.

DFPA reminds the public that lightning can produce holdover fires that may not become visible immediately following a storm. The public is encouraged to remain alert for smoke or fire in areas that recently experienced lightning and to report any signs of wildfire promptly. Lightning reconnaissance in the area will continue for several more days. No homes or structures were threatened by these fires.

Naming clarification: The two fires transferred to the Umpqua National Forest, Tiller Ranger District, may be assigned different names or identifiers under the Forest Service’s incident naming convention. The names used in this release reflect DFPA’s records at the time of the initial response.
