Our Curbside Pick Up Service

Our rates are the lowest in all of Southcentral Alaska for the services we provide. Our goal is to keep overhead low while providing a quality product and service to all. We are committed to success, and dedicated to helping our customers keep Alaska clean and beautiful. Let's all do our part to make curbside recycling a permanent mainstay in the Matanuska Valley.

When Ready Recycles started out in the fall of 2009, we had 13 customers, a 1988 Jeep Wrangler, and an old trailer we fixed up to haul separation containers. In four years we have grown, and the community has responded! We now have over 250 customers, residential and commercial, schools, and government agencies. Recycling is taking off here in the Mat-Su, and we are very excited!Ready Recycles has purchased additional trucks and trailers, hired employees, and expanded the boundaries of our service area. Our drivers now have routes surrounding the Palmer Wasilla area as far as the Butte, Palmer and Wasilla Fishhook, Settler's Bay (KGB), Pittman Rd., Parks and Vine.
