Capitol Recycling and Disposal provides the City and Borough of Juneau with recycling and disposal services that are safe, convenient and protective of the environment.
The recycling drop-off area (RecycleWorks) is an important part of the community's waste reduction infrastructure and is provided by the City and Borough of Juneau. For information about what can be recycled at RecycleWorks and other recycling services available in the community, go to www.juneaurecycling.com.
Recyclables delivered to RecycleWorks are processed at the WM JMK Fibers Recycling Facility, WM's state-of-the art recycling center in Tacoma, Washington. JMK is a regional materials recovery facility (MRF) that processes, bales and then sends recyclables to end markets so they can made into new products.
For material that cannot be recycled, the landfill is engineered with environmental protection systems that meet or exceed rigorous government regulations and are subject to highly regulated monitoring and reporting requirements. Systems include leachate collection and removal as well as landfill gas collection and control. The facility accepts primarily municipal solid waste (household waste), construction and demolition debris, industrial waste, and special waste. Capitol Recycling and Disposal does not accept hazardous waste.
Please note:
- All loads must be secured prior to entering the landfill.
- Lumber must be cut to lengths of six feet of less.
Construction and Demolition Debris
Pursuant to Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules, all building projects that result in demolition and/or renovation to an existing structure that results in disposal of construction and demolition debris requires a building survey by a qualified professional prior to acceptance of material at the landfill.
In compliance with these rules, WM will be requiring submittal of documentation prior to arriving at the landfill. For further information, please reference the materials below from ADEC and the EPA.

Profiled Waste
Approved waste profiles are required for profiled waste disposal. Profiled waste is any waste that is not considered municipal solid waste (household garbage) and may require special handling. Profiled waste can include industrial process waste, contaminated commercial wastes, creosote coated wastes, toxic wastes, or wastes that are difficult to handle at the landfill.
For more information or waste profile approval, contact the WM Technical Service Center at 800-963-4776 or tscwestern@wm.com. Or get started today using our online approval system!
