Reclaim Northwest

Why do we recycle?

Plastic is rapidly filling up our landfills. When it is dumped, plastics create health hazards. It leaches into groundwater; phthalates found in the human bloodstream are linked to cancer and developmental problems. Farmers can now recycle at Reclaim Northwest, LLC. located at 199 H Street Road, Lynden, WA. Products that are recyclable include supersacks, twine, bags, drip tape, pesticide containers (triple rinsed), berry flats, drums, buckets, shrink wrap, etc. The material needs to be reasonably clean without non-plastic materials included.

Why Recycle ?

What’s the matter with a bonfire fueled by plastic wastes, or with plowing old mulch or dairy film into a field or piling it out-of-the-way? The primary problems are that open burning adds pollutants to the air that pose risks to human health, and dumping can compromise water quality and future farm operations, not to mention that random piles of used, partly-degraded plastics are unsightly. Recycling improves environment quality.
