Waste Management - Ellensburg Recycling

201 N Wenas St, Ellensburg, WA 98926

(855) 523-1344

Waste Management - Ellensburg Recycling is the local recycling center on N Wenas Street that people from town and nearby rural areas use to drop off household recyclables and garden debris. Neighbors swing by with carloads, small trailers, or truck beds to keep stuff out of the landfill.

There’s an entrance with a small booth and a scale to drive over-sites in this region typically charge by weight so expect to stop again on the way out. The recycling bins and container rows sit beyond the booth; cardboard, paper, glass, metals and many common household plastics are usually separated into different containers. Yard waste is handled separately in Washington, so have those branches and grass clippings kept apart from mixed recycling. Weekends can get busy, and trailers often need a bit more maneuvering space than cars.

Before You Go

  • Keep cardboard flattened and bundled before arriving so it’s quicker to drop off and takes less space in the truck bed.
  • Separate yard waste from recyclables at home-stack branches and bag leaves separately to avoid extra sorting at the site.
  • Pull up to the booth first and make room for others behind; if towing a trailer, leave extra clearance when turning into the drop-off lanes.
