To San Juan County Residents For more than a decade, Cimarron Enterprises has served as the transportation bridge for solid waste between the San Juan Islands and the mainland.

Cimarron will lower solid waste fees and provide: • 15% reduction for San Juan Sanitation customers • Retains current staff and provides for additional local jobs in proposed sorting line • Saves self-haul option for Orcas customers and reduced rates • $150,000 in upgrades to improve traffic flow, safety and operational efficiency • Coordinated program with San Juan Sanitation and County • Award-winning recycling and disposal facilities • Innovative approaches to reducing solid waste and maximizing recycling and reuse • Support of local efforts to expand recycling and reuse
Cimarron Enterprises offers San Juan County residents and county officials the best opportunity to meet its goals with high-quality, uninterrupted service.
