CleanScapes Tip: Make next Friday 'Green Friday'

Sunday, December 4, 2011

Green Friday

We've lived through Black Friday.  Now try something different.

This Friday, make a different list to check twice: one that is filled with experiences instead of more stuff. Does anyone really need another scarf or steak knife set?

Giving experiences is a wonderful way to support the local economy, reduce waste and share something unique with the people you care about.

Gift certificates can be purchased for just about anything you can imagine:
Giving does not need to create waste. This holiday season give the landfill a break and save time, money and natural resources by giving experiences.


The Big Picture 

The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Americans throw away 25% more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year's than any other time of the year, which translates into an extra million tons of waste generated nationwide each week. 

Holiday waste is generated not just from the stuff we purchase, but from all of the packaging that comes with it (and around it), the fuel used to transport it, and all of the single-use wrapping paper and ribbons used to wrap everything up.

Reduce first. Reuse what you can, and then Recycle.

CleanScapes Tip: Sharing as Reuse

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Sharing as Reuse

End-of-year donations can take many forms, including giving away things you no longer use or need. Winter is a great time to take one last look in your garage, closets and cupboards for unwanted gently-used items and non-perishable foods.

Many non-profit organizations and businesses are collecting items for those less fortunate, from coats to cribs, bikes to toys, books to business suits, as well as electronics and food

This year the Shoreline PTA Council is collecting all kinds of items for teens and families in need. 

If you have something to donate, DonateSeattle can help connect Seattle-area donors with non-profit wish lists.

By sharing what you no longer want with those less fortunate, you are reducing, reusing and recycling while benefiting your community at the same time!

The Big Picture 

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency Americans generated approximately 243 million tons of waste in 2009. While 34% of this was recycled and composted, the rest – 161 million tons - was buried in landfills nationwide.

How much of what we throw away is actually garbage? Before throwing anything away, pause and think if your trash could be someone else’s treasure.
Reduce first. Reuse what you can, and then Recycle.
Reduce, Reuse and Win!

CleanScapes Tip: Dumpster Diving at Home: A Primer

Monday, November 7, 2011

Dumpster Diving at Home: A Primer

Reduce waste, you say… but how? Like any journey, unless you know where you are going you may not reach your destination.

Use this Home Waste Audit Checklist to better understand how you can reduce waste at home.

Ready, set, sort! All you need to conduct a do-it-yourself archeological waste sort is a pen and paper, tarp, gloves and a dry place in your yard or garage. Camera is optional.

Create a Waste Inventory. Right before your next collection day, spread out your tarp and empty a week’s worth of household garbage and recycling. With gloves on make piles of common items.

Next make a list of all of the single-use items you find, such as:
    • Paper napkins, Paper towels, Paper plates
    • Plastic silverware
    • Water and beverage bottles
    • Pop cans
    • Paper or plastic to-go containers, Plastic food containers
    • Shipping packaging
    • Plastic bags, zip-top bags
    • Paper bags
    • Juice boxes
    • Junk mail and catalogs

Take note of which materials take up the most space in the garbage and recycling bin, and anything that could be replaced by reusable items.

Replace. Once you have completed your waste inventory, look for anything that could be replaced with a reusable item and anything that could be purchased in bulk.

If your recycle bin contains plastic water bottles, think about getting everyone their own reusable water bottle. Lots of paper towels? Move the paper towel roll out of sight and replace with kitchen towels and cloth napkins. Lots of plastic or paper bags? Stock up and bring your own bags everywhere you shop.

There are reusable alternatives for just about everything, including snack and sandwich bags.

Bulk Up, Go Local. Many of our food and household products come in some kind of packaging.

Reducing packing is easy:
    • Purchase local products
    • Purchase items in bulk
    • Shop at farmers markets
    • Use cloth grocery and produce bags
Rag Time. Eliminate the need for paper napkins and towels by stocking up on cloth napkins, kitchen towels and cloth rags. Rinse, wash, and repeat.

Paper Weight. Help your recycling shed some pounds by opting-out of phone books and taking your name off catalog, junk mail and credit card distribution lists.

Dine in Style. Whether you are serving snacks, party fare or dinner for two, setting the table with washable, reusable plates will help reduce the need for single-use paper plates. Mix and match your casual dining options with plates purchased at second-hand retailers.

Zero Waste Road Map. After a few weeks of trying out your new zero waste habits, conduct a second sort. You might be surprised by how much you have trimmed your household’s waste-line!

Resources: 
The Big Picture
There is us – me and you, and there is the US. Cup by cup, bag by bag and bottle by bottle, our individual actions add up to create approximately 243,000,000 tons of waste every year.

In the US we use:
    • 60,000 plastic shopping bags every 5 seconds
    • 2 million plastic beverage bottles used every 5 minutes
    • 410,000 paper coffee cups every fifteen minutes
    • 3.4 million tons of paper towels every year
    • 100 million trees for junk mail every year
    • 3 billion single-use batteries every year
    • 10 billion paper grocery bags every year
Small changes in everyday habits can make a big impact on the waste we create.

City’s solid waste and recycling service provider, CleanScapes, merges with California-based Recology

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

From the Office of the City Manager

The City’s recycling, solid waste and yard waste hauling provider, CleanScapes, announced on October 4 that it would be merging with California-based Recology. CleanScapes has assured the City that residents will not notice any difference in service delivery.

“CleanScapes will retain its name, its management and its culture – especially our focus on recycling, waste reduction, innovation and customer service,” said CleanScapes President Chris Martin.

CleanScapes’ trucks and collection service will remain the same and residents will still work with local customer service representatives to address any issues that arise.

Recology is an employee-owned company that provides solid waste collection, recycling, composting, transfer and landfill operations and environmental services in northern California, Oregon and Nevada. Recology is a national leader in “resource recovery”, which is the reclamation of “garbage” for the same or an alternate use.

If residents have any questions regarding their curbside recycling or solid waste collection services, or they have questions about CleanScapes’ merger with Recology, they are encouraged to contact CleanScapes at 206-763-4444.

CleanScapes Tip: Litterless Lunch

Litterless Lunch

Whether you are packing a lunch for yourself or little ones, this weekday task is a wonderful opportunity to reduce your waste footprint!

By replacing single use bags, containers, plastic utencils, paper napkins and drink containers with ones that can be washed and reused, you will save money and conserve natural resources.

Creating a Litterless Lunch kit is as easy as reassigning a cloth napkin and set of silverware from the kitchen, and purchasing reusable containers and snack bags. If you don't want to upset the balance of household silverware or dinner napkins, and don't want to spend a lot of "green", second hand retailers are well stocked with gently used options.

Reusable bags and containers come in all shapes and sizes, and even the zip-top plastic bags have reusable alternatives.

When ordering lunch to-go, ask the restaurant staff for recyclable or compostable carry-out containers and have your own reusable napkins and utensils ready for action.


The Big Picture

Waste reduction and prevention is a simple, yet effective strategy for creating sustainable communities and economies, and maintaining a healthy environment.

Everything we do adds up - individually, as a community and as a country: according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, nearly 113,000,000,000 disposable cups, 39,000,000,000 disposable eating utencils, and 29,000,000,000 disposable plates are used in the US every year(1).

By swapping out single-use items for reusables, you help reduce the amount of stuff that has to be thrown away on a daily basis.

CleanScapes waste reduction tips: Moving and Cleaning

Thursday, August 18, 2011

Home Sweet Home
Whether you are a student making the summer transition off campus, or moving to a new neighborhood or city, there are many ways to reduce waste during the moving process.

As you sort through your stuff and setting aside items that are not moving with you, consider the new life all of those unwanted things could have.

Reusable clothing, shoes, toys, sports equipment, electronics, appliances and furniture can be sold or donated online, or dropped off at any of the available non-profit donation sites around the city. There are even organizations that are willing to pick-up items at your residence.

If you have broken electronics, old cell phones, dead batteries, unusable clothing or Styrofoam, local recyclers will help you keep these items out of the landfill.

Take unwanted hazardous products like pesticides, paint or cleaning products to household hazardous waste drop-off locations in Seattle or King County.

When the time comes to pack everything up, save money by reusing free boxes listed online, used cardboard boxes from liquor stores and wholesale shopping centers, or support green businesses and rent reusable plastic packing totes.

After your move, continue the reuse cycle and donate your boxes online.

Once everything’s packed and you are ready to clean, help reduce the accumulation of more household hazardous waste by purchasing or making environmentally friendly cleaning products!


The Big Picture 

The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that US residents and businesses sent 161,000,000 tons of material to landfills in 2009.

During the chaos of moving it may seem easier to trash the items you no longer want, but local businesses and non-profits have made it easy to find a new home for your unwanted items.

Instead of filling landfills, consider finding a new home or safe disposal for your unwanted stuff.

Students Teach | Zero Waste Art Exhibit

Wednesday, July 27, 2011


Students Teach | Zero Waste Art Exhibit
August 1 – September 5, 2011
Northgate Library
10548 5th Avenue Northeast
Seattle, WA 98125

Zero Waste Artists Reception
Monday August 1, 2011, 6:30 pm, Northgate Library Reception Room
Join us in raising a sparkling cider toast to the artists and help kickoff this month-long exhibit. RSVP by email or phone 206-859-6717.

This summer the Northgate Library has partnered with CleanScapes to host a special art exhibit in honor of artwork created by local elementary students featuring zero waste ideas.

The exhibit will be available for viewing during the Northgate Library’s operating hours between August 1 and September 5, 2011, and will feature the artwork of fifty-six local elementary students.

As you will see, students have a lot to teach us. Youth have a distinctive voice and an important role in inspiring us to make positive choices in our day to day lives that support a sustainable and vibrant future for everyone.

If you have the chance to visit the exhibit, take note of the students’ waste reduction advice. You could help your neighborhood and the environment! Every year, Seattle and Shoreline neighborhoods compete to see who can reduce their waste footprint the most. Click on your city’s link to learn how you can reduce, reuse and win!

Art Exhibit Project Background
In 2010/11, CleanScapes invited Seattle and Shoreline elementary students to share their waste reduction ideas through an Elementary Student Art Contest.

This contest was part of CleanScapes Neighborhood Waste Reduction Rewards program, a friendly competition that challenges neighborhoods to reduce their waste footprint.

In total, fifty-six students participated from schools throughout the community including John Hay, Kimball, Wing Luke, Laurelhurst and Lowell Elementary in Seattle and Meridian Park, Echo Lake and Lake Forest Park Elementary in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park. Youth artists in grades 1 through 6 created the works of art shown in this exhibit.

CleanScapes Tip: Book Ends

Monday, July 25, 2011

If you have used books that are not suitable for donation or resale, there are unique reuse and recycling options.

Old or damaged books can be turned into upcycled objects d’art, fashion accessories and unique home décor. Online tutorials give step-by-step instructions for turning old books into paper vases, wreathes, purses, wallets, table legs, wallpaper and lamps. Go on, get crafty!

If crafting is not your forté, you can recycle book pages by cutting them away from the cover and binding. Unfortunately, book covers and binding cannot be recycled and should be placed in the garbage.


The Big Picture

In 2009 there were 960,000 tons of books disposed in the US. While 33% of these were recycled, the rest were buried in landfills across the country.

Unless books are damaged, they can be kept in the ‘reuse’ loop for a long time. Help reduce waste by donating or selling unwanted books, reusing books in craft projects or removing book pages so they can be recycled into new paper products.

Reduce first. Reuse what you can, and then Recycle.

CORRECTION: CleanScapes' fluorescent tube collection only for single-family homes

Monday, July 18, 2011

CleanScapes has let us know that fluorescent tube collection is only provided to single-family homes and not to residents in apartments or condos. This is because individual tenants don’t have their own accounts with CleanScapes; only the property itself does, so there’s no way to track how many bulbs have been collected per person.

Apartment and condo tenants can use King County’s Take It Back Network to find local options for bulb disposal.  The Take It Back Network lists recycling locations in both King and Snohomish county and is for all residents.

CleanScapes Tip: Recycle child car seats

Saturday, July 16, 2011

Car Seat Recycling

If you have usable or expired car seats, you don’t have to throw them away. You can donate recent models or recycle old ones.

Seattle Goodwill, located in Shoreline at NE 145th and 15th NE,  will accept gently used car seats if they are not expired or have not been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). To find car seat expiration dates, look on the manufacturer labels on the sides or bottom of the seat. 

Seattle-based retail store Goods for the Planet accepts car seats for recycling (fee is $8). Child car seats can be dropped-off during the store’s operating hours. Note that all fabric and fabric straps will need to be removed before dropping off.

Goods for the Planet
525 Dexter Ave, Seattle WA 98109
HOURS: Monday through Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
(206) 652-2327

You can also mail in your car seat for recycling. For the cost of shipping, BabyEarth’s RENEW recycling program will disassemble used baby equipment and distribute recyclable parts and pieces to recycling centers.

To participate in this program, mail your item to:

BabyEarth
RENEW Recycling Program
21 Cypress Blvd Ste. 1120
Round Rock, TX 78665

The Big Picture

Washington State law mandates that children under the age of eight are required to ride in a car seat or booster seat. As children grow, different types of seats are required to meet safety standards. Waste-wise, this means that for every child, parents will need to purchase and eventually dispose of 3-4 types of car seats in their child’s lifetime.

One of the challenges with reusing car seats is that they are one of the few items that are difficult to sell, donate or give-away. Because of liability issues, there is a limited market for used car seats, as many second-hand retailers and consignment shops will not take them.

If you do want to use or purchase a used car seat, make sure you can verify the age and crash history of the seat, whether or not it has expired, and confirm that none of the original parts are missing.

Across the US, recycling programs for car seats are in their infancy. In the Pacific Northwest, Seattle and Portland have led the way with drop-off recycling programs.

If you have a child’s car seat, use it for as long as you can. When the car seat is ready to retire, you can help reduce waste by taking advantage of car seat recycling programs.

CleanScapes Tip: Zero Waste Independence Day

Monday, July 4, 2011

Show your love for your country by minimizing the environmental impact of 4th of July festivities. Whether you are a host or a guest, this year challenge your friends and family to create a zero waste event!

From Farm to Grill. There is no better way to show your patriotism than to shop locally and support your community farmers and artisans for all of the supplies you will need for your event.

Buying from local producers decreases the greenhouse gas emissions that result from the long-distance transport of food. Seasonal farmers markets are open and stocked with everything you will need for the grill and picnic table. Click here for the Washington harvest schedule and learn what is in season.

Eco-Grilling. Whether you plan to grill local hot dogs or veggies, you can now decrease your environmental impact with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified charcoal. A sample of FSC certified brands include Cowboy Charcoal, Original Charcoal, Lazzari Charcoal or Nature’s Own Chunk Charwood. The FSC certification ensures that no trees from endangered woodlands were cut to produce the charcoal.
Skip the charcoal altogether and decrease greenhouse gas emissions by using a propane or electric grill.
If you do plan to use charcoal, consider skipping the lighter fluid. Charcoal lighter fluid emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through evaporation and as the fluid-soaked charcoal burns. Electric charcoal starters and charcoal chimneys are a great alternative, inexpensive and can be reused over and over again.

Green Staging. Save money and natural resources by using reusable and washable plates, cups, silverware, napkins, table clothes and serving dishes. Short a few glasses or plates? It’s easy to stock up on gently-used durable serviceware at local second-hand retailers.

You can decrease packaging waste by buying in bulk and serving drinks in pitchers instead of individual serving containers.

Recycle Everywhere. No recycling bins at the park or playground? Bring a waterproof bag, tote or cardboard box to store and pack-out recyclables. You could even pack-out your leftover food using sealable to-go containers to bring back and compost at home.

The Big Picture

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, nearly 113 billion disposable cups, 39 billion disposable eating utensils, and 29 billion disposable plates are used in the US each year(1).

The best environmental alternative is to use durable, reusable and washable serviceware. The energy used to manufacture reusables and the water and soaps used to wash them are minimal compared to the natural resources needed to manufacture, transport and dispose of single-use serviceware.

Why avoid lighter fluid? Approximately 14,500 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from the 46,250 tons of lighter fluid used in the US every year(2). This is equivalent to the hydrocarbon emissions from 375,000 passenger cars!

VOCs affect air quality and contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone when they mix with other air pollutants in the presence of sunlight(3). Ground-level ozone (as opposed to the protective ozone layer) can cause health problems in people with lung and heart disease, active children, and adults who work or exercise outdoors.

Reduce first. Reuse what you can, and then Recycle.

CleanScapes $10,000 Neighborhood Prize pays for benches along Interurban Trail

Thursday, April 28, 2011

One of five new benches on the Interurban Trail
Walkers on the Interurban Trail in Shoreline now have some places to rest and watch the world go by, thanks to five new benches which have been installed along the southern end of the Interurban Trail in Shoreline. The benches were purchased by CleanScapes, Shoreline’s contracted waste hauler, and installed by the City of Shoreline Parks Department.

CleanScapes awarded a $10,000 community project to residents in the Friday collection area for their success in reducing their overall waste from 2009 to 2010, as compared to the other four collection areas.

The Friday collection area includes the neighborhoods of Westminster Triangle, Richmond Highlands, Parkwood, Meridian Park, and Highland Terrace. Representatives from those neighborhoods met and chose to spend the money on benches for the Trail.
Mayor McGlashan commented that “we are thrilled with the addition of these benches to the Interurban Trail. They are a great amenity for the neighborhoods that won, and the broader Shoreline community. They are also a great reminder that people can do more to recycle and reduce the amount of waste they generate.”
Donated to Shoreline by CleanScapes Waste Reduction Reward Project 2010
Chris Martin, President of CleanScapes, stressed the importance of overall waste reduction: “Everything we throw away has environmental and economic costs. Recycling and composting are very important, but it still takes trucks and fuel to collect these materials, and energy to process them. A better solution is to cut back on how much stuff we use in the first place, and we want to reward those neighborhoods that demonstrate a commitment to that.”

CleanScapes was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1997, and provides sustainable solid waste and recycling collection and comprehensive StreetScapes management services to municipalities, commercial properties, business improvement districts and stadiums in Washington, Oregon and California.
