About This Center

The Joint Base Lewis-McChord Recycling Program is dedicated to reducing, reusing, and recycling to support environmental preservation and meet Department of Defense objectives. Corporate Waste Solutions collaborates with JBLM to enhance waste minimization and diversion through a comprehensive recycling program. The program aims to sustain resources for JBLM's future as a leading training installation. The Recycling Centers at McChord and Lewis are accessible to on-base personnel, JBLM organizations, and off-base military personnel with orders, but not open to retirees or civilians due to legal restrictions. Effective November 1, 2024, the program no longer accepts glass materials due to market changes. Toner cartridges are accepted at both centers. The McChord Field Recycle Center is located on Southgate Road, Bldg. J000516, while the Lewis Main Recycle Center is on Nevada Avenue, Bldg. 5290. Operating hours are Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with specific schedules for each center. Visitors can request pick-ups or provide suggestions for the program.

Christine Yang

Christine Yang (2/5 stars, a week ago): I understand that glass is often difficult to recycle due to several factors including breakage contamination transportation costs and the need for specialized sorting and processing. But considering glass is infinitely recyclable it is disappointing that the JBLM recycling center with staff able to check if the glass is clean no longer accepts glass. It also would have been nice to have that information updated online instead of having to find out after arriving.

Drake Studanski (5/5 stars, 2 years ago): Friendly staff and very helpful the whole area is organized and set up to be efficient. Just to save you an extra trip this one can not take electronics at this moment. Electronics will have to be taken to McChord.
