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.

Wesley United Methodist Church in Yakima County operates the largest private recycling center in the area, open from Monday to Saturday, with potential early closures on Saturdays if the cardboard bins are full. The center recycles cardboard, paperboard, paper, aluminum cans, and tin cans, emphasizing the removal of paper labels from aluminum pet food cans and craft beverage cans before recycling. They do not accept plastic, glass, Styrofoam, batteries, bulbs, E-waste, or organic matter. Volunteers dedicate over 50 hours weekly to maintain the program, resulting in over 800 thousand pounds recycled annually. Additionally, the church's Green Team, active for over 15 years, meets monthly to plan environmental initiatives, and the church has been on a Solar Journey since 2010, culminating in a 56-panel solar system dedicated on Earth Day in 2016, supported by a Pacific Power Blue Sky Grant.

Cardboard Recycling in Yakima: FAQ
Where can I drop off a lot of cardboard in Yakima, WA?
Municipal drop-off sites and transfer stations usually take flattened boxes free. For large commercial volumes, a recycler may provide a baler or container and sometimes pays for clean bales.
Does cardboard need to be clean?
Flatten boxes and remove packing foam and plastic. Normal tape and labels are fine, and a little grease on a pizza box is accepted by most programs. Wet or soaked cardboard is not.
Do recyclers pay for cardboard?
Only in bulk. Baled, clean corrugated cardboard is a commodity, but household quantities are not worth paying for.
