Community Recycle Events, Repair & Sustainability Fair, Workshops
Lewis County is working with cities and communities to offer free recycling events and opportunities to properly dispose of certain materials. Please see the Schedule of Events for 2026 listed below.
The events are offered to Lewis County residents only, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If some recycling containers fill up on the day of the event, that particular recycling opportunity may be closed due to storage and space limitations. Every event will not necessarily offer the same recycling opportunities.
Check out the dates that are confirmed in the chart below, and click on the city or community under "Location" or "Event Services" to see a flyer and rules about that specific event. (Some flyers are still being created, so check back for more details if the link for a certain event is not available yet!)
We are also working with volunteers to offer workshops to educate the community about composting, recycling, soil health, composting with worms, and living a more zero waste lifestyle. These workshops are included in the Schedule of Events listed below.
These events are being offered thanks to Lewis County, E-Cycle Washington, community partners, and the WSU Lewis County Master Recycler Composter volunteers. Many are funded in part by a Local Solid Waste Financial Assistance grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology.
