(Added 11:46 am: The 1 Green Planet team this morning in the early going)
Last time the Fauntleroy Church Green Committee brought 1 Green Planet to West Seattle for a “Recycle Roundup,” the recycling company’s trucks went away with 14 tons of electronics and other items. 9 am-3 pm today, they’re back, and will be set up in the church parking lot (9140 California SW) again awaiting your recyclables. If you haven’t checked it yet, here’s the list of what they will and won’t accept. It’s a free service (though the Green Committee will accept donations if you’re interested in helping them cover their costs).

  1. FYI: I was just there and they are not taking audio tapes or video tapes. They are on the list but they can’t take them.

  2. Thanks, Kris, was there a reason? I know the church volunteers work as closely as they can with 1GP to make sure they have an accurate list … TR

  3. Green Planet has to pay for the tapes. So, they lose money on the deal.

  4. I asked about the tape thing, they said that that was an error and they will take them. Other than that the service is great, fast and friendly. Love this service!!!!!!!!

  5. We apologize for the error, WE WILL ACCEPT VHS AND AUDIO TAPES. The flyer was printed up prior to our company changes. Bring it down with the rest of your recyclables.
    Thanks again to Fauntleroy UCC and West Seattle for all your support.

  9. Great timing for us – the waterheater broke last week and we got to avoid paying to take it to the transfer station!

  10. I love this. I’ve used it a few times now, great idea and great service. I’m not a church going person, but I’m more than happy to donate to the church there when they do this collection of recyclable items with 1GP
