Methow Recycles is the small-town recycling center out by Twisp Airport that local households and small businesses use to keep stuff out of the dump. People drop off household recyclables, separated yard debris (Washington expects that), and the occasional bulky item when seasonal programs are running.
Pull into a gravel lot off Twisp Airport Rd and look for a small booth or scale near the driveway-there’s usually a place to stop before unloading. Containers and drop-off bays are arranged for drive-up access so vehicles can pull up, unload sorted materials, then move on. Expect to separate yard waste from dry recyclables and to hand items into the appropriate bin or pile rather than leave loose in a truck bed. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines are possible.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pre-sort paper/cardboard, metals, glass, and plastics into separate piles or bins so unloading goes faster.
- Bag or box loose items and tie down loose brush in truck beds to prevent spills during the drive in.
- Bring any documentation needed for special drop-off programs (electronics, hazardous materials) since those collections are often seasonal and handled differently than regular recyclables.
