An environmental nonprofit wants your plastic nursery containers. The group Re Sources is organizing a seven-county agriculture recycling program. You drop off the black plastic containers cluttering the yard. They have them recycled into tool handles, new pots and even plastic railroad ties manufactured in Texas. They also take plastic bailing twine and empty hay bale bags.
Dropping off your containers is free but they need to be reasonably clean and dry. Marysville folks can drop theirs off Saturday, June 9 at the Livestock Auction Barn at 15714 Smokey Pt. Blvd. between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Monroe residents should drop off Sunday, June 10 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds parking lot, 14405 179th Ave. SE between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
If you run a business that needs to get rid of large quantities of greenhouse plastic, drip tape or other plastics, call the Re Sources program to see if you qualify for on-site collection.
