Northwest Polymers – Helping Spokane Recycling Benefit the Lilac City
While Seattle and Tacoma have the grandeur of Puget Sound to the west, and the Cascades to the east, Spokane lies inland, near the border with Idaho, nestled in the northeastern corner of the Columbia Basin Valley. Surrounded by some remarkable inland scenic beauty, Spokane plastic recycling is seen as a key part in maintaining what makes the city so unique.
After all, with a nickname like ‘The Lilac City’ and a motto like ‘Near Nature. Near Perfect’, it is not hard to understand why the flora of the area is held in so high regard. It’s an appreciation that is underlined by such tourist features as Duncan Garden in Manito Park, Riverside Park, the city’s own Botanical Gardens and even the Nishinomiya Japanese Garden.
But since it is the second most populous city in the state of Washington, with just under 210,000 citizens in its metropolitan area, there is also a clear challenge to properly manage the waste from domestic, commercial, retail and industrial sectors. To that end, plastic recycling in Spokane is well developed, gathering an estimated 116,000 tonnes of paper, 151,000 tonnes of metals, and 40,000 tonnes of plastic in 2009.
Northwest Polymers is proud to play its part in providing good waste management solutions for the businesses in Spokane, whether they are in the retail, commercial, industrial or services sectors. In fact, after a decade spent building our Value Added services in the recycling industry, we now operate to a standard that few other plastic recycling companies can match.
This is because our Spokane clients never have to deal with the logistical hassles that can often accompany efforts to safely and responsibly dispose of plastic waste. Our own vehicles travel to their locations to collect a load, while our clients involved in manufacturing recycled plastic products can look forward to trouble-free delivery of the specific plastic resins that they require.
What this means is that companies in Spokane recycle with the minimum of worry and the maximum of convenience. With a decade already behind us, we know we can continue to offer the very best services in plastic recycling in Spokane and to its citizens.
