Curbside Recycling

Curbside recycling is available to ALL residents of Clark County. In some cities and urban growth areas, curbside recycling is mandatory. In all areas, recycling is picked up on the same day as garbage (self-haul garbage customers are given a recycling schedule). Residents are assigned a pick-up day when they sign up for garbage service.

How do I know who my recycling service provider is?
In all areas of Clark County except the greater Woodland area, contact Waste Connections, Inc. (360) 892-5370 or email customerhelp@wasteconnections.com.

If you live within the City of Woodland, you may contact Waste Control at (360) 225-7808.

Remember: You are required by law to cover the trash load you're hauling. The Clark County Uncovered Load Ordinance establishes a surcharge for uncovered loads of garbage and/or recyclables delivered to transfer stations. Any load with visible waste will be subject to a surcharge, unless the waste is visible only through a secure covering or the waste is not capable of causing a litter problem.
