Easter egg hunt

City deals with recycling, noise

The City Council approved a new recycling program and noise ordinance this week.

Arlington residents will get new 96-gallon recycling containers that eliminate the need to sort recyclable materials. They also will be able to recycle new items, such as most plastics. Residents will pay $3.43 a month, and the containers will be emptied by Waste Management Northwest twice a month.

The containers created a flap with some people in the Gleneagle neighborhood when they were deposited unannounced at their homes last month. Resident Virginia Hatch told the council she and some of her neighbors would have appreciated being consulted. Waste Management officials apologized and said the premature delivery was inadvertent.

Also, a revamped noise ordinance was passed that addresses situations such as noise from vehicles, construction, electronic devices and parties. Quiet hours are 10 p.m.-6 a.m., and sounds generally should not be heard more than 30 feet away if they last more than 20 minutes.
