About BIG Recyclers
Our Mission and Vision
At BIG Recyclers, we’re not just recycling glass; we’re creating a sustainable future by diverting recyclable glass from landfills. Based in the heart of Central and Eastern Washington, our vision is to build a community that conserves natural resources and reduces waste by turning discarded glass into
valuable resources. Join us in our mission to create a sustainable future, one bottle or jar at a time.
Our Services
Our 100% volunteer organization hosts public drop offs on Tuesdays at 240 C Street in the Walla Walla Airport Complex from 10 am until noon. Please visit our home page for the seasonal schedule. Membership is not required, but members do pay less per pound than non-members. We ask that you only bring glass food and beverage containers that have been rinsed; lids, foil collars and plastic pour spouts removed. Labels are okay!
Our History
BIG Recyclers was formed in 2021 by a whole slew of local residents who were concerned about the lack of glass recycling here in the Walla Walla Valley. We believed that together, we can make a difference. Our strength is in our all volunteer crew. Please consider joining us for a shift, a month or a year!
