Good morning, Eugene.
🎭 Culture
Halloween Downtown returns on Oct.
24 from noon to 4 p.m. with 12 themed Scare Stations offering thrills — including library photo ops and a haunted circus — along with 16 Witchy Window displays and over 60 trick-or-treat stops.
🎓 Education
Eugene School District 4J plans to finalize rules for electric bikes, scooters, and other motorized devices on school grounds before the end of the school year — individual schools already restrict some devices to ensure student safety and protect property.
🌲 Environment
Lane County has opened four RecycleOn Centers at transfer stations in Cottage Grove, Glenwood, Florence, and Veneta.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is today at 10 a.m. at the Glenwood Transfer Station (3100 E. 17th Avenue), where residents can drop off materials that don’t fit in curbside bins.
Every Tuesday after Ducks home games, Filta cleans the 28 deep fryers at Autzen Stadium so the used oil is filtered for reuse and later recycled into renewable diesel — the process takes about 10 minutes per fryer and recovered 80,000 pounds of oil in 2025.
📰 Lifestyle
Greenhill Humane Society is showcasing Stain, a 6-year-old terrier-mix with plenty of energy who needs a patient forever family.
The shelter (88530 Green Hill Rd) welcomes visits daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. for potential adopters to get to know him.
