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!

Buy an annual pass

Pay for your recycling in advance based on the amount of people in your household and/or the amount of recycling you generate.

Annual pass benefits include:

  • No need for payment when you drop off materials

  • Come as often as you want, no “per trip” charge

  • Special pass holder-only hours on Tuesdays from 10 am to 4 pm

  • Receive a pass holder-only newsletter with tips and insider information

  • We’ll also throw in one free BlueBag each year!

  • Know that you’re doing your part to ensure that the programs you use and value are supported

Here’s how the annual recycling pass works:

  • Passes are for one calendar year. When you join mid-year, we'll prorate the price of the pass.

  • Choose the pass level that’s right for you.

  • Show us your annual pass card or car sticker when you visit Methow Recycles. Come on in and do your thing!

  • Renew your pass annually. We’ll remind you!

  • BlueBag items, electronics, and batteries are not included with the annual recycling pass.
