Description Recycling in Washington continues to result in important environmental and economic gains. In 2011, residents and businesses recycled and diverted from landfills over 50 percent of the wastes in Washington. While reducing the amount of waste going to landfills is indeed significant, recycling is more than a way to manage wastes – it’s an important way to reduce pollution, conserve natural resources and create jobs.
