Where can we put all those plastics?

By Tom Watson
Special to The Seattle Times

Plastics and recycling have a complicated relationship…. Plastics recycling seems to confuse and frustrate consumers more than any other type of recycling. More

Where Do Recyclables Go?

Investigators: Some plastic getting greenwashed

Some recycling dos & don'ts

Combined bottles, cans, paper and cardboard collected from residences and businesses, as well as debris from construction and demolition projects are sorted at Waste Management's Cascade Recycling Center in Woodinville, the largest recycling facility of its kind on the West Coast. The center employs the most advanced sorting technologies from the US and Europe, and ships the sorted commodities to both domestic and Asian markets for use in new products.
