Trash / Recycling Pickup


Recycle Widget

Trash pickup day for Battle Ground residents is Tuesday of each week, while recycling collections occurs every other Tuesday. If Monday or Tuesday is a holiday, check the home page calendar to know if collection may be delayed to Wednesday. The second Tuesday every month is large item pickup. (That lumpy recliner that has to go, they will take). Or check social media  "free" sites to see who might want to repair it.

Waste Management’s system does not recycle plastic grocery bags (these get caught in the machinery), food or liquid, or wet cardboard and paper. These items can spoil an entire load of otherwise recyclable materials. The plastics that can be used are marked  #1, #2 and #7. Please see the Waste Management link for more information on recycling. https://www.wm.com/us/en/recycle-right/recycling-101

One trash tote and a recycle bin are supplied to each residential address. If you anticipate having additional bags for pickup on trash day, purchase trash tags at Town Hall for $1.00 and use them when needed. Extra bags with tags will be taken along with the trash in the toter.

These items are not accepted: televisions, computers, freon appliances, fryer oil, motor oil, engines with fuel, liquid varnish, oil paint/stain.
