ISLAND WASTE
How to Dispose of Solid Waste
On Whidbey and Camano Islands
Curbside recycling is offered to all residents of Oak Harbor.
Built-in recycling is available elsewhere in Island County to all single-family residents who use curbside garbage pickup by Island Disposal. All garbage picked up at the curb is placed on a belt, from which recyclables are sorted and recovered.
Self-sorting of recyclables is available to persons who deliver waste to any of four county drop-box facilities or one privately owned and operated recycling business.
