What's New?

We're thinking about a metal drive this spring...

... we're researching the possibilites from both angles:

               -  will metal prices support all the effort?

               - are there enough piles of willing metal and junk cars to make it worth it?

... we need your input.  If you have a junk car to get rid of or a big pile of metal, please get in touch with Betsy as soon as possible:  She can be reached at 996-2696 or recycle@methowrecycles.org.

 

Methow Recycles is pleased to announce that we are a collector of e-Waste in participation with the statewide program which went into effect on January 1, 2009.

Compact fluorescent bulbs save a lot of energy, but contain mercury, which should be recycled! Thanks to a WA State Department of Ecology grant, Methow Recycles is now recycling compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) at 4 convenient locations:

  • Methow Recycles
  • Okanogan County Electric Coop
  • Winthrop Ace Hardware
  • Methow Valley Community Center

If you are interested in recycling fluorescent tubes, Ecolights has a great system, especially if you have quite a few of them. Please visit their website, www.ecolights.com.


The Horizon Flats drop-off depot is now closed for the winter.  Thanks for using this bin & stay tuned for some exciting changes coming this spring!
