WCSW Recycling Program
The WCSW Recycling Program is the 1st county wide recycling program in the history of southern Utah. This program will provide public drop off locations, approximately 40 sites, within Washington County where residents can drop off their paper, plastic, metal, and glass. Operational costs for this program are covered by residents’ trash removal fees. In turn, 100% of the commodity money will be given back to the cities and towns that make up Washington County for community projects.
Mission Statement
The WCSW will implement a sustainable and successful recycling program for all residents of Washington County. We will promote public education and education of our youth. We will nurture partnerships to help build our recycling resources for the betterment of all of southern Utah.
Our Goals
Public Education We are teaming up with local media groups to inform residents about the various recycling services available through the WCSW and to educate residents about ways to protect the area in which they live.
Educating our youth The WCSW is committed to educating our youth to be good stewards. We have available a recycling education program that can be tailored to all ages. Please contact Jenifer (wcsw4@hi-speed.us) if you’re classroom, church group, Boy Scout, Girl Scout, or any youth program is interested in learning about reducing, reusing and recycling

Tangible Benefits The money collected from selling the commodities will go back into the cities and towns that make up Washington County. Contact your local councilmember to ask where your recycling money is going in your community.
Convenience Binnies are located close to where you live so that it is convenient to drop off your recycling. Binnies can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are committed to making recycling as easy as possible.
Building our recycling resources As we generate more recyclables locally, it helps to build up our recycling resources locally. Are intent is to attract new business, support old business, create more jobs, and to expand recycling opportunities.
