All of San Juan’s garbage and recycling is processed off of the island. The same goes for garbage on Orcas and Lopez islands -- it’s loaded on a train, which heads to Klickitat County. Trash from San Juan goes to Cowlitz.

It’s the reason San Juan County has the most expensive landfill trash program in the state.

But recycling is a little more complicated.
