Recycling Data (1986-2006)
Washington State has been collecting recycling data since 1986, through the Solid Waste
and Financial Assistance Program’s Annual Recycling Survey. The survey is currently tracking 25
materials that are recovered from the waste stream, from which the recycling rate
is calculated. This follows the EPA guidelines for measuring municipal solid waste recycling.
