Visit the Cascade Recycling Plant: The CRC processes recyclables collected from over 250,000 households in Washington. The facility is 82,000 square feet on 6.25 acres. CRC processes 12,000 tons of commingled recyclables every month. With advanced sorting capabilities, less than 5% of the material that enters the facility ends up at the landfill.
Visits generally include about 45 minutes in our recycling education center, where we discuss recycling and waste prevention procedures and observe sorting activity on closed circuit television screens. At the end of the visit, we watch sorting from the observation deck for about 5-10 minutes.
Age limit 5 and up. Note: This is strictly limited to 30 people including chaperones. If there is more interest, we will schedule a second visit later in the school year.
Sturdy closed toe shoes are required for safety
The conference room is wheelchair accessible. It is necessary to climb 15 steps to the observation deck.
