Beyond the Bin
Learn How to Recycle Right!
There are often many items we would like to recycle or repurpose that are not permitted to be put into our recycling bins. Think of those gently used household items that you no longer need but someone else would just love to find at a local thrift store. This guide provides information about a wide variety of items that can be taken to outlets in or near Skagit County instead of throwing out to the landfill. The guide is designed in three sections, first, Part 1 is an A – Z listing of items that can be recycled and what business outlets they can be taken to. Second, Part II is a detailed alphabetical listing of all the outlets included in Part 1 with information on their location, hours, phone number or website and other details. Lastly, Part III provides a listing of municipal and county resources for waste disposal and recycling.

Presented By: Skagit Plastic Reduction and Recycling Coalition
In partnership with Skagit County Solid Waste Division and the Skagit Marine Resource Committee, Friends has undertaken a new project. Our goal is to provide education and outreach to residents of Skagit County to reduce single-use plastics that can find their way into our waterways and become marine debris, a major issue threatening our bays and oceans. Another major focus for SPRRC is educating residents on changes in recycling guidelines for plastics. We appreciate grants provided by the Washington Dept. of Ecology, Northwest Straits Foundation, and Anacortes Soroptimists that have made this work possible.
