“Make sure there are no recyclables in your garbage,” said Don Benton, Environmental Services director. “Let’s divert as much as we can from the landfill.”

Green Neighbors, an Environmental Services program, will sponsor the event in partnership with Washougal. A Washington State Department of Ecology grant provides funding.

Recycling Day Events are free and open to all Clark County residents. Proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or other identification with an address, may be required.
