The City of Mercer Island sponsors two large recycling collection events each year, the Spring Recycling Event and the Fall Recycling Event, and has also offered mini recycling events in years past. A variety of “hard-to-recycle” items are collected at these events, which are funded through King County grants. Please review the website or see the flyer below to see the details of a recent event.
These events also includes other perks, such as the opportunity to purchase rain barrels and compost bins, and is offering a new styrofoam recycling pilot program – you can bring white Styrofoam blocks (marked as #6 or EPS) or any color of packing peanuts, for free. The City is also accepting gift card or cash/credit donations for Mercer Island Youth & Family Services Food Pantry. Tax receipts are available.
