Cascade Recycling Center opened in in 2003, paving the way for convenient, efficient collection
of mixed recyclables from hundreds of thousands of Puget Sound residents and
businesses.
Facility Details
The CRC processes recyclables collected from over 250,000 households in Washington.
The facility is 82,000 square feet on 6.25 acres. CRC processes 12,000 tons of commingled
recyclables every month. With advanced sorting capabilities, less than 5% of the material that
enters the facility ends up at the landfill.
The CRC is normally open for public tours. Due to the pandemic, we have suspended in-person tours temporarily and now offer a five-minute video tour that follows recyclables from the curb to the CRC and on to be made into new products. The video is educational for individuals and ideal for use in virtual classrooms - Click here.
