Free Recycling Event at Windermere Yarrow Bay
Here’s your chance to get a jump on Spring cleaning! Clean out all that stuff that’s hard to dispose of properly. You know all that stuff you never use that’s cluttering up your garage. Bikes, appliances, electronics and more are being picked up and recycled next Saturday, the 25th at Windermere’s Yarrow Bay office in Kirkland. Come on down!
If you missed our first event, this is a great opportunity to get rid of some of your difficult items responsibly, plus it’s located in Kirkland, so it should only take a small amount of your time.
I’m heading off to my garage now to gather up batteries and a few other things. I’ve been on a mission to “get rid” of things this year and this is a great opportunity for me to do it the right way.
Happy Recycling!

After you’ve taken care of your Christmas tree, it’s time to think about getting rid of some other old “stuff” hanging around your house and garage. Come down to my Windermere office on Sunday, the 9th, to recycle old electronics, appliances, and other things that are hard to responsibly dispose.

Recycling is a “feel” good way to start the year off right. You’re getting rid of things as responsibly as possible and you’re freeing yourself of that unwanted stuff. Happy recycling.
Please let me know of any upcoming recycling events and I’m happy to post them on this blog. Let’s help each other to help the planet this year.
Have a wonderful, merry, and “green” Christmas.

Here’s a link to my eastside post with some “green” suggestions for last minute gifts, recycling ideas, and getting rid of that holiday trash.
Happy Holidays!
This weekend’s free electronic recycling event got me to thinking about all the recycling I’ve been doing as of late. I’ve been going recycling crazy. I’ve recycled old electronics and tons of my old real estate files, 32 boxes worth! I posted a piece about recycling on my eastside blog, so check that out for some further recycling tips. There are a lot of places which will take recycled goods in Seattle, so get those recycling engines started and head to this weekend’s free event.
