Learn how to recycle at the Echo Lake Neighborhood Assn meeting Tuesday

Have you ever stood at one of those bins with the different holes for different kinds of recycling or disposal and wondered where to drop your fork? or the cup your coffee came in? or the lid on the cup?

Recycling is confusing. Each disposal company has its own rules, based on the recycling equipment, and its contracts with recyclers. Each city contracts with a disposal company and decides what will be included in the contract.

Some items can't go in the curbside collection but can go to the Recology store, or the transfer station.

The Echo Lake Neighborhood Association will help clear up some of those issues at its meeting on Tuesday, May 15, 2018, from 7-9pm at Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Ave N, Room 303.

Speakers from Recology will tell us what has changed in the last couple of years, what most people get wrong, what can go in the recycling that usually doesn't, and other recycling lore.
