Recycling Center
This is the where we (your Town of Washington) take care of your waste items,
from paper to plastic, to metal, to ickk.
Our Hours vary depending on the season. This is for your convenience and to save you tax dollars.
From March 16 to Nov 31 the recycling center is open from
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 3:00PM Wed
and Sat.
And from Dec 1 to March 15 we are open the same hours
but only on Saturday. (We
are not open Wednesdays in order to save our (your) tax dollars!)
We appreciate when you fully separate your recycling materials into their
proper categories. This saves us time effort and tax dollars. Those of you who
do not take the time make the rest of us pay.
