Construction & Demolition Recycling

CleanBin

CleanBin, a new program, seeks to encourage and promote proper jobsite recycling of C&D materials.

King County provides the tools and assistance needed to help you to obtain the highest diversion rates possible on your construction, demolition and deconstruction projects. Tools available include jobsite waste guidelines, a waste management plan template, sample waste recycling specifications, directory of local construction waste recyclers and more. Available assistance includes presentations to jobsite workers on building material reuse, salvage, and recycling, site visits to assess diversion options and research on recycling options for hard to recycle commodities. To learn more about the range of services available and to receive assistance please contact King County's construction recycling program online or by calling 206-296-4434.

Save money and resources on your construction project - view your unwanted jobsite debris as a resource for someone else, not as a waste.
