Central Washington Recycling, operated in partnership with Michelsen Packaging Company, provides a vital recycling service for residents and businesses throughout Yakima and Central Washington. Conveniently located at 202 North Second Avenue in Yakima, WA, the center offers an easy drop-off option for corrugated cardboard, office paper, newspapers, and other clean paper products. As part of Michelsen Packaging’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, the recycling facility plays an important role in keeping valuable materials out of landfills and supporting the reuse of paper fibers in new packaging. This helps serve not just Yakima’s agricultural community, but households and local businesses that want to make responsible waste management decisions. Visitors will find clearly marked bins inside the gated lot, with staff available during business hours to answer questions and provide assistance. The center asks that all cardboard be flattened and free of food waste or contaminants to ensure quality recycling. While the facility currently accepts only paper-based materials, it remains a critical option for Yakima residents, especially at a time when local recycling opportunities are limited. By dropping off your cardboard and paper here, you’re directly helping reduce waste, lower environmental impact, and support a greener community.

Appliance Recycling in Yakima: FAQ

Will a scrap yard in Yakima, WA take my refrigerator?

Many will, but refrigerators, freezers, and AC units contain refrigerant that must be removed by a certified technician. Some yards require a tag proving it was evacuated, others charge a fee to do it.

Do I get paid for old appliances?

Scrap yards pay for appliances by weight as light iron, which is usually a few dollars per appliance. Transfer stations typically charge a disposal fee instead.

Can my utility pick up an old fridge?

Some electric utilities run free pickup programs for working refrigerators and freezers, sometimes with a rebate. Check your utility before hauling it yourself.
