Self-Haul Recycling

Bring your recycling to Methow Recycles.

There has been a major shake-up in glass recycling in Washington state with several glass buyers unable to accept glass for the time being. But with the help of some local collaborators, we are still able to accept glass.

We’re still accepting glass!
