Recycling Contamination Reduction Resources

Many of these resources are also included - along with many others - in the references and resources section of the State CROP and the CROP BMPs. This library will allow us to keep those resources up-to-date and expand our collection over time. 

Some of the most valuable resources in the library are the local program examples that our community and government partners have shared with us.  If there are other resources you'd like added to the library, send a note to the CROP librarian, Diana Wadley at diana.wadley@ecy.wa.gov.

Welcome to Ecology's Recycling Contamination Reduction Resource Library

On this site, you'll find a plethora of resources to learn more about recycling contamination, its impacts on the recycling system, and tools and strategies you can use to clean up the recycling stream in your community.  The site is regularly updated, so please check in now and again to see what's new.  If you have any questions about the site or have suggestions on new resources to add to the library, send Diana Wadley an email at diana.wadley@ecy.wa.gov.
