Go Green with Recycling

Recycling is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. With Nooksack Valley Disposal & Recycling, Inc., recycling has never been easier. We'll provide you with recycling bins and pick your recycling up every other week. Your recycling pick-up day will correspond with your garbage pick-up for the utmost convenience.

 

We recycle plastic containers used for food, beverages, detergents and more. Call our office today at 360-354-3400 to sign up for recycling service and receive your recycle bin.

Prepare Your recyclabes for Pick Up 

Some recyclable materials require preparation before they can be picked up by our service. By following the instructions for each recyclable product below, you are ensuring your recyclable items are processed appropriately.​
