Where can we put all those plastics?

By Tom Watson
Special to The Seattle Times

Plastics and recycling have a complicated relationship…. Plastics recycling seems to confuse and frustrate consumers more than any other type of recycling. More

Computers and Televisions Accepted at Curb with Prior Arrangement

Computers, laptops, monitors, separated computer circuit boards and televisions contain heavy metals. They cannot be disposed of as garbage and must be recycled.
