At Valley Recycling we are striving to recycle the most materials
possible. We have recycle drop bins at ten locations around the valley, from Coram to Lakeside and Creston to Kila. Our customers are our business and serving them is our first priority.

  Congratulations Flathead Valley!

In 2005, Valley Recycling with the help of Evergreen Disposal and the Flathead Valley reduced the amount of refuse going into the Flathead County Solid Waste Facility (County Landfill) by a total of 5.8 million pounds of recycled goods. In 2006 that number increased to 7.5 Million pounds of material. In 2008 we are up again. 8,175,207 total pounds of material.

That would be enough compressed baled material to fill a football field from end zone to end zone, side line to side line, over the top of goal posts and then some.

	Cardboard	-	4,594,717 pounds
	Newspaper	-	3,238,180 pounds
	Plastics	-	109,763 pounds
	Other	-	232,547 pounds

Our bailer runs 5 days a week, 11 hours per day, compressing cardboard, paper, and plastics into compact shipping units. Valley Recycling with the help of Evergreen Disposal and the people of the Flathead Valley helped exceed the Projections for 2005 by 382 tons of material that would have been deposited at the county landfill! In 2006 we raised that amount by 1.7 million pounds of material.  In 2007 we exceeded the projections of 2006 by 316 tons of material. 

From the staff at Valley Recycling and Evergreen Disposal we thank you.

We are always researching new materials that can be recycled so that we can further decrease the volume of waste being deposited in the County Landfill. If we all do our part, we can minimize our impact
on the Flathead Valley.

Our Mission

Providing the Flathead Valley with the most recycling opportunities
and the best service possible.
