North County Update

Darrington: Curbside recycling starts Monday

People in Darrington won't have to cart their own recyclables away starting Monday.

There is no charge for participating in the every-other-week recycling program, and residents do not have to sign up to take part. Recycling carts were to be delivered to garbage customers in February.

Customers who participate in the recycling program may see a decrease in their garbage bill, town administrator Lyla Boyd said. Items that can be recycled are flattened cardboard, newspaper, magazines, plastic milk jugs, glass bottles and cans.

More info: 800-592-9995.

Marysville: Fire district to get $208K

The Marysville Fire District is scheduled to receive a check today for $208,558 from the federal government for new equipment.

Federal Emergency Management Agency acting regional administrator Dennis Hunsinger plans to be at Marysville Fire Station 62, 10701 Shoultes Road, at 2 p.m. to present the check.

The grant is expected to provide the department with new equipment, said Fire Chief Greg Corn.

Tulalip: Toxic pilings removed from bay

State Department of Natural Resources crews are working to remove pilings from Tulalip Bay. The effort is part of a larger project to remove creosote-coated pilings throughout the region.

Several pilings will be left for boat owners to use for moorage and for osprey nesting.

State crews are pulling out the pilings because creosote, used to preserve the wood, is toxic and can leach into the water. In 2007, the state approved $4 million for creosote-treated wood pilings to be removed throughout the region.

More info: 360-716-2640.
