We maintain free drop-off recycling sites throughout our service area for common recyclable materials for Cowlitz County residents.
Please note: The Buy-Back Recycling Center at the transfer station facility is the only drop-off location that pays for recyclable materials. Please break down cardboard boxes!
(Also note that not all drop-off sites accept all the same items. Only Kelso South and Kelso East accept motor oil and antifreeze).
