Recology’s Seattle Summer Beyond the Cart Recycling And Reuse Collection Event

Recycling and compost giveaway events

Have stuff to recycle that doesn’t go in your cart? Bring it to a Recycling & Reuse Collection event! We host six events a year to collect items for recycling and reuse that can’t go in your home recycle carts or dumpsters. Events are free and open to all Seattle residents.
