Curbside Recycling

In this section, we want to gather your feedback on countywide curbside recycling. If you aren't sure where curbside recycling is offered, please refer to the coverage map.

Curbside recycling is currently only available in unincorporated Skagit County WEST of Highway 9. The population density in this area makes the collection of recyclable materials economically feasible. However, increasing growth in the eastern portion of the County may make it possible to expand the service area.
