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 have teamed up with local media groups to inform residents about the various recycling opportunities available through the WCSW.
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.
