Waste Connections offers the disposal of bulky items at our three delivery points in Clark County, as well as curbside pickup of bulky items. Vancouver residents have a convenient option for recycling used alkaline, nickel-cadmium (NiCad) and lithium household batteries, as well as for flashlights, hearing aids and rechargeable batteries. Simply cover the ends with adhesive tape, place them in a clear plastic bag with an airtight seal, and place the bag on top of your recycling cart. Consider buying rechargeable batteries and a charger to accompany your electronic gifts to reduce the number of batteries you have to discard.
Recycle portable televisions, computers, monitors, laptops, tablets, e-readers and DVD players for FREE through E-Cycle Washington. Homes, small businesses, schools and school districts, small governments, special-purpose districts, and charitable organizations can recycle electronic products for free with this program. Find a recycling drop off location for your e-waste. If your company generates more recycling than the reduced rate for three yards, you can check with an authorized commercial recycler to see if there is a larger container.
This service is an open market service and each provider sets their own rates. Some of the commercial recyclers specialize in collecting recycled garbage in mailboxes and others provide very specific services, such as shredding and destroying documents. If you have any questions about the type of recycling service you need, feel free to contact the City for assistance or use the list of recycling companies on this page to find a supplier. For additional information on commercial recycling, call 1-800-RECYCLE or visit the Washington State Recycling Association.
Commercial and industrial operations in Vancouver must use a recycler currently authorized by the city of Vancouver. The following recyclers meet the registration requirements set out in Vancouver Municipal Code 5.62. The City of Vancouver does not endorse the services of any particular company; this list represents companies that meet business license requirements. Common demolition materials include wood, plaster, drywall, metals, masonry, and other items that can be reused or recycled, rather than being transported to landfills. Reusing and recycling construction debris can be cheaper than placing it in landfills and can be necessary according to building codes.
Vancouver residents with the active Waste Connections garbage service can use the free bulky item collection program to dispose of up to five (items too large or bulky to fit in a garbage cart). Customers can pick up a maximum of five items curbside each calendar year (FREE). Below you will find registration instructions, commonly accepted items and items that are not accepted. If you live in an apartment or share the garbage collection service with others, ask the property manager to help you dispose of bulky items.
Vancouver residents can attend free workshops to learn about regional recycling systems, composting on sidewalks through the Organics service, and food waste prevention. These classes are offered through a partnership with Vancouver Solid Waste, Clark County Green Neighbors and Waste Connections. Read below for descriptions of the workshops, upcoming dates and registration. The Clark County composter recycling program also offers free workshops on backyard composting, worm bins, toxic-free cleaning, and more.
