Lautenbach Recycling has announced the opening of a new recycling and materials recovery facility in Bellingham, expanding the company’s ability to serve businesses, contractors, and residents across Northwest Washington.
Located at 2885 E. Bakerview Road, the new site consolidates Lautenbach’s Whatcom County operations into a single upgraded facility designed to improve efficiency, increase materials recovery, and expand recycling access throughout the region.
The Bellingham facility will accept a wide range of recyclable materials including construction and demolition debris, wood, metal, cardboard, and other recoverable commodities. It will also feature a self-haul recycling area open to the public, providing residents with a convenient local option for recycling wood, metal and cardboard that might otherwise end up in landfills.
“Our mission has always been to recover as much material as possible and keep it out of the landfill,” said Troy Lautenbach, President of Lautenbach Recycling. “This new facility allows us to expand that mission while improving service to our customers and the broader community.”
The new Bellingham location represents a significant investment in regional recycling infrastructure and responds to growing demand for sustainable materials management solutions across the construction, commercial, and industrial sectors.
“Northwest Washington continues to grow, and with that growth comes the need for responsible materials management,” Lautenbach said. “This facility helps ensure that recyclable materials stay in the recovery stream where they belong.”
