Introducing Commingled Recycling!
The City of Snohomish is introducing a new and improved recycling program
for our community called Commingled Recycling. Commingled Recycling
is easy, and accepts a wide range of materials. Recycling reduces
the amount of garbage you put out for collection... which may help reduce
your garbage costs!
Why Commingled
Recycling? Research shows participation and recycling levels increase when
sorting is not required. Commingled recycling is more efficient because
collection trucks can hold more materials in a single load. New recycling
technology allows materials to be sorted at a central location. |

Waste Prevention Is Even Better than
Recycling!
Help reduce waste by using less packaging and reusing containers.
And remember to buy products made with recycled materials!
Thanks for helping make the Northwest
a leader in recycling and waste prevention!
