About this center

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.

Reading the previous post I am experiencing the same issues. Called at various times (posted as open hours) over a four month period only to reach an automated system. There is not an option to leave a message the automated system does not offer the information I am seeking. Not recycling glass is also frustrating as well as not accepting materials after hours. I do wish the city of Wenatchee was more proactive with their/our ecological responsibility. Recycling should be readily available and easy access. The city should supply recycling bins in public areas educate and encourage the activity especially as our population is continuing to steadily increase.

Tried calling several times during regular working hours with never an answer. Even their automated phone system doesn't work properly. Kind of frustrating. The site is well set up for dropping off recyclables and I certainly appreciate that but no glass recycling which is frustrating as well since many other counties in the state do this... Would be nice to get a hold of a real person sometime....

Great place to recycle your cardboard they set up bins Monday through Friday so there's plenty of space to throw your cardboard into it's not there on the weekends probably cuz they're not open but it is during the week any glass or metal recycling like that would have to be taken out to the transfer station far as I know this place only does cardboard
