Current Operations

Spokane Recycling Products, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Waste Paper Services, Inc. and Bluebird Recycling, Inc., comprise the largest and most complete paper and plastic recycling facilities in the Inland Empire. Purchasing, hauling, and processing recyclable materials has been the focus of our business since 1972. We are continually looking for new materials, which we can successfully add to our growing list.

The Management Team

Plant Manager Rick Keller is in charge of operations at our processing facility located at 3407 E. Main Ave. Our 30,000 square foot facility is located on 5 acres in the heart of Spokane.
The company utilizes two high-density twin-ram balers for the final processing of materials prior to shipping to market. There are also three separate sort lines dedicated to newspaper, high-grade papers and curbside containers. Today Spokane Recycling employs 31 team players dedicated to providing the highest quality material to our customers.

Corrugated cardboard, newspaper and office paper make up the largest portion of the material processed. Our plant processes and bales 3,500 tons of recyclables each month. These materials come from a wide variety of generators including commercial accounts, the public (via our buy-back center) and the local waste haulers. We have received curbside material from both the city and county curbside programs since their inception in 1990.

Waste Paper Services, a subsidiary of Spokane Recycling Products, operates a full-service fleet for our commercial customers. Waste Paper Service employs six team players dedicated to providing the highest quality service to our commercial accounts. Our services include vans, tractor/flatbed, tractor-trailer and roll on/roll off equipment. We cover the greater Spokane area on a daily basis ensuring prompt service to our many suppliers.

Bluebird Recycling, Inc. was started in 2002 and is a subsidiary of Spokane Recycling. Bluebird is located in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. The company utilizes a high-density twin-ram baler and employs nine team players. Bluebird Recycling processes many of the same materials we do in Spokane and additionally trades in Non Ferrous metals. In a typical month we process and sell 800 tons of recyclables from our North Idaho plant.

Currently, our material stream consists of:

• Multiple different grades of paper

• Glass bottles and jars
• HDPE & PET plastic bottles
• LDPE film
• Carpet Pad
• Assorted industrial plastic scrap
