Winter Waste Awareness

The winter months bring more time spent with family, friends, and loved ones.

This time of year also results in increased waste production from gifts, food, and celebrations. As you spend time with friends and family this holiday season, the City of Sammamish is here to help you learn what to recycle and what to trash.

Tips to keep top of mind:

• Choose reuseable materials for decor and packaging.

• Prioritize purchasing supplies that are recyclable.

• Consider shopping local to cut down on packing waste and transportation costs.

• Recycle and compost what you can. We’re here to help!

Reminder: Not all plastic is recyclable! Clean, dry plastic labeled with #1 and #2 can be more easily recycled and turned into new products. Other items belong in the trash.
