HAPPENING NOW: Fauntleroy ‘Recycle Roundup,’ until 3 pm

| Environment | Fauntleroy | West Seattle news

Just stopped by Fauntleroy Church to see how the fall Recycle Roundup is going. You have until 3 pm to drop off recyclables for free – provided they’re on this (long) list of what 1 Green Planet is taking this time. Most memorable item we spotted during a quick look – a vintage copper “Combination” GE refrigerator/freezer.

The church is at 9140 California SW (you can’t get there directly from the main stretch of California – if you head west on Barton from 35th, the road becomes California for a short stretch before the Endolyne business district). It’s busy right now (a few minutes past noon) but they have enough help to keep everyone moving through quickly.

Ha, that’s the fridge we dropped off! A huge thanks to the church, volunteers, and wsb for this great event!

Unfortunately unprepared for this one. Is it too early to find out when the next one will be held?

We usually get the next date from the fabulous Judy Pickens shortly after each of the events, when she shares the update on the day’s take. So watch here as the week goes on. We also will update our event calendar when the info comes in. – TR

They seem to come around pretty often. Yesterday, I was looking around the house for a bag of elec. items that I had collected- to recycle. I asked my spouse if he had seen it, and he said that he was pretty sure he dropped that stuff off at the last recycling event. This time, we had a couple digital converters and antennas to drop off, as well as our shredder that I broke Saturday night. (That shredder served us well for over 12 years ! )

Sorry, comment time is over.
