Thurston
County's drop-off recycling bins accept:
- Newspaper

bottles and jars
- Tin and
aluminum cans
- Mixed

- Plastic dairy tubs (such as yogurt, sour
cream and margarine tubs) and plastic bottles and jugs that have
necks that are narrower than their base.
- Milk
cartons and drink boxes
-
Corrugated cardboard
Please be
sure to follow the label instructions on the boxes. Click on the
thumbnail image to see the label instructions that are posted on
the boxes. (For a PDF instead,

Note:
All materials should be placed loose into the blue bins.
There is no need for paper or plastic bags, in fact, these
contaminate the load of recyclables. Also, if you go to a
site and find that one or more bins are full, PLEASE do not leave
your materials on the ground or elsewhere. Either come back
another time, or try one of our other locations.
Gently used clothing is also accepted at all of the
blue bin sites. Clothing taken to the
Rainier, Rochester and Summit Lake sites goes to
Northwest Center.
At the Lacey site, clothing should be
taken to the Goodwill station.
