For those who are unfamiliar, RecycleRight is a tool used by Clark County residents to learn about their garbage and recycling service. You can explore the offerings by visiting this link, by downloading the RecycleRight app, or by continuing to read about the various functions.

Input your address into the "My Schedule" tab to view a calendar which highlights the dates when recycling, garbage and yard debris or organics service occurs for your household. The calendar also shows if your service day is impacted by a holiday. You have the option to print the calendar, or add those dates to a virtual calendar, including Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook and iCal. If reminders are helpful, you can also request to receive schedule reminders through email, an app or phone calls. In addition, service alerts can also be set up for service interruption (e.g. ice, snow, smoke). Step-by-step directions can be found at www.cityofvancouver.us/publicworks/page/how-sign-service-alerts.
