Last Recycle Event of the Year
Did you know that the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill in Maple Valley is the only remaining landfill in King County? Once it reaches its capacity and closes, King County will have to find an out-of-county landfill that will be more costly for the region's residents. Help extend the life of Cedar Hills Regional Landfill by preventing waste in addition to recycling and composting!
Fall Recycle Event Saturday, September 10, 9:00am - 3:00pm Renton Technical College, North Parking Lot (NE 6th Pl & Monroe Ave NE) Acceptable items include plastics (#2, #4, bags, bubble-wrap), Styrofoam (bag peanuts/popcorn), reusable household goods, cardboard, books, unusable textiles, batteries, tires, scrap metal, oil filters, and uncontaminated antifreeze and motor oil, and more.
