Another reminder so you can get ready this weekend – next weekend starts with the FREE recycling/shredding event presented by the West Seattle Junction Association and WS Chamber of Commerce, 9 am-noon Saturday, March 20th. Different location this year so there’s lots of room to distance – the expansive north parking lot at South Seattle College (6000 16th SW; WSB sponsor). Guidelines for what the event will and won’t take:

ACCEPTED ITEMS INCLUDE:
Styrofoam
Household batteries
Fluorescent tubes and bulbs
Small electronics
Paper for shredding (limit 4 boxes) – you CAN bring confidential documents

    Can someone define “small electronics” ?

      The Junction’s site says “tv’s, computers, etc.” Partner Friendly Earth’s website lists what they take at their HQ but I wouldn’t assume that’s the same for an event like this. I will ask WSJA if they have a more-detailed list to share.

        Good idea – I was wondering about a retired (non-human) hp  printer! Anyone have any advice?

          I’d expect this event to take printers, but if they don’t then you could take it to Re-PC in SODO area.

Sorry, comment time is over.
