Hidden Valley Materials Recovery Facility
LRI at Hidden Valley recovers a variety of recyclable commodities, including cardboard, office paper, plastic containers, oil, glass bottles, and ferrous and aluminum metals. Our Materials Recovery Facility is designed to sort and prepare materials for recycling.
Your Glass Is Still Being Recycled
The main glass processor in western Washington has temporarily closed its recycling plant and stopped accepting glass. LRI, in partnership with Murrey's and LeMay-Pierce County Refuse, has secured an alternative regional glass processor south of Pierce County, ensuring that glass collected within the system continues to be recycled.
