We're re-thinking waste.

The highest and best use is always re-use! Almost everything created in this world can become something new many times before it is discarded forever. CARTM Recycling promotes sustainable living and artistic expression through the creative re-use of materials. We collect our community’s "trash" and sort it, combining it with like materials and making it available to become new again — as art, as building materials or furniture, as raw materials for new packaging or — as whatever you envision!

CARTM operates a unique one-stop recycling center, re-use thrift store, and solid waste transfer station between Manzanita and Nehalem on Oregon's north coast. We accept over 40 different materials for recycling. Use our Quick Start Guide to Recycling to see what materials we take and how to prepare them. See the Recycling FAQs if you have further questions, or just ask one of our amazing staff members for help.

Come on in! Shop for new treasures at the Re-Use Store. Bring us your recycling and your clean reusable donations; see the Re-use Donations FAQs to find out what we accept.
