Pope/Douglas Solid Waste Management

Pope/Douglas Solid Waste Management is a multi-county partnership created to manage the solid waste stream generated from both counties.  We process garbage and recycling at the Materials Recycling Facility and Waste to Energy Facility.

Pope/Douglas also operates a year-round Household Hazardous Waste Facility, Recycling Drop Center, Organics Recycling programs, community education/awareness programs and niche/unique recycling programs that go up and beyond traditional recycling programs.

We are seeking volunteers (through community/civic/church groups) to assist with events recycling and organics recycling on-site logistics at events.
