Forget the plastic! This Bothell store can help you go green

BOTHELL — The average NFL game generates about 80,000 pounds of trash — and double that on Super Bowl Sunday, game day organizers told National Geographic magazine.

Recycling that kind of tonnage is a tall order. But locally, the Recology store in Bothell is helping customers reduce their carbon footprint one woolly dryer ball at a time.

“The average person makes about five pounds of waste each day,” said Erin Gagnon, who manages Recology’s four Puget Sound retail locations. That’s far less than a Super Bowl crowd and eminently more manageable.

Recology, in the Canyon Park Place shopping center at 22833 Bothell Everett Highway, is two things: a drop-off center for hard-to-recycle items such as batteries and styrofoam, and a fully stocked store that sells shampoo in bars instead of bottles, natural cleaning products, toys and stylish wallets made from recycled upholstery.

2. Love this!

I spend an inordinate amount of time, energy, and bandwidth on proper recycling. Our county (Chelan) just quit taking glass. I am switching over to other materials, and back to plastic (yuck).

Guess I'll have to start drinking box wine? 🤣🤣
