Garbage & Recycling

Recycling

The LRAA recycling program is paid through LRAA membership dues and is intended solely for LRAA members and their guests.

We now have co-mingled recycling!

What does this mean? It means that you can place all of your CLEAN mixed-paper, plastics, tin & aluminum into the same recycle bin.

  • All kinds of paper & cardboard (except dairy cartons, juice box-type containers, and waxed boxes)

  • Aluminum & tin cans

  • All plastics from food & household products

  • Plastic film, aluminum foil and aluminum pie tins

Please note that we no longer have glass pick-up, so please place glass into garbage dumpsters, take it with you to recycle at home or to Methow Recycles in Twisp.

Please leave no construction materials, hazardous waste or large items in the dumpster or recycling area. Take your televisions and other electronics with you or to Twisp Recycling for proper disposal. Also, please do not leave recyclables outside of bins.

Garbage

LRAA community dumpsters are paid for through LRAA membership dues and intended solely for LRAA members and their guests.

LRAA community dumpsters are for household trash ONLY, including glass. Recyclables, except glass, should be placed in the co-mingled recycle bins.

  • Dumpsters are not to be used for building materials and toxic waste. Please leave no construction materials, hazardous waste or large items in the dumpster or recycling area.

  • When our dumpster lids do not close, our association incurs extra charges. Please distribute refuse so that it is remains below the top of the dumpster.

  • Please keep all garbage and garbage receptacles indoors to avoid encouraging any pests or wildlife, and to help keep our community clean.

We appreciate your attention to these matters!
