Each year Americans generate millions of tons of trash in the form of packaging, furniture, grass clippings, yard trimmings, glass, plastic, metal, paper products, clothing, and much, much more. We have been "throwing things away" for years; but now, many of us realize that there is no "away". Since our trash problems won't go away, we each have to take some responsibility for solving them. The best way to do that is to Reduce; Reuse; Recycle; and Educate. Clark County, its cities, non-profit organizations, businesses/industries and other regional agencies provide a range of reuse, recycling and safe disposal options for a variety of materials. Below is an A to Z list of these options; a list of Resources has also been provided.

But what about....?
If there is a item that you would like to see added to the A to Z list, e-mail the name of the item to: solidwaste@clark.wa.gov.

Can my company be added to the A to Z list as a recycler?
If you recycle an item that is on the A to Z list or if you are a recycler of an item you feel should be on the A to Z e-mail your contact information to: solidwaste@clark.wa.gov.
