Did you know that nearly 1 million tons of organic waste ends up in Washington state landfills each year?
From the very beginning of Lautenbach Recycling we’ve been committed to finding solutions for organic waste that shouldn’t end up in the landfill or wastewater sewer system. We started with creative ideas, along the way researched and purchased new technologies, and today have partnerships with many large and small organizations who believe, like we do, that sustainability and reuse are both critical to protecting our environment.

Specialty Hauling for Businesses to Comply with Washington’s Organics Management Laws
Washington’s Organics Management Laws require businesses generating 96 gallons or more of organic material per week to keep those materials out of landfills. Our specialty hauling service makes compliance straightforward. Using safety‑sealed roll‑off boxes, we collect and transport industrial and agricultural organic byproducts securely and efficiently.
At Skagit Soils, our licensed composting facility, these materials are transformed into nutrient‑rich compost that supports local gardens, farms, and landscapes. For high‑moisture organics, we partner with anaerobic digesters that convert them into renewable electricity, biogas, and fertilizer, strengthening our region’s circular economy. Whether your residuals come from food processing, wastewater treatment, or agricultural operations, we provide a safe, sustainable, and fully compliant solution that reduces methane emissions and keeps valuable resources in use.
