2011 Fall Recycle Fest Event

Recycle Fest events provide residents the opportunity to recycle and dispose of household items. To attend the event, please bring the event flyer that you receive in the mail or your driver’s license with a Shoreline address on it. Note that only pick-up trucks or smaller vehicles will be allowed to enter. If you are hauling items on behalf of a neighbor or want to bring a trailer to the event, you must call (206) 801-2455 for approval prior to the event.

When packing your car at home, you may want to pack the heaviest items into your vehicle first, and the lightest items last, to facilitate unloading them at the event.
