Happening now: Recycle in Fauntleroy, with 1 Green Planet

| Environment | Fauntleroy | West Seattle news

Just checked in on the scene at the Fauntleroy Church parking lot (map), where 1 Green Planet is back with trucks ready to be filled with recyclables – electronics and more (list here) – free dropoff. They had a steady stream rolling up to unload when we were there about an hour ago – and they’ll be there till 1 pm. (You can also park afterward and go inside the church to check out the final hours of the “Second-Time Sale,” 11 am-1 pm.) West Seattleites are clearly devoted recyclers – the 1 Green Planet folks told us that their last event at Fauntleroy UCC, this past February, was their most successful event of its type ever – we’ll see how today winds up!

Was just there and already I heard them talking about taking a truck out to unload it and bringing it back to collect more stuff!

The 1 Green Planet Group accepted my old electronics and some metal items. They told me that even though my TV and stereo were still working, their organization does not take functioning items somewhere so that the items can be used. Next time I’ll take functioning electronics to Goodwill.

They were not accepting wood or papers.

Some of the items are so outdated we can not give them away for free, even if they are in perfect working condition.
It will be recycled, even if you drop it off at Goodwill.

Sorry, comment time is over.
