As of January 1, Seattle Public Utilities and King County, Wash., Solid Waste are no longer accepting plastic bags or films in residential curbside recycling bins. Residents, instead, are asked to bundle thin plastic materials at home and then take them to drop-off sites at retail stores, KNKX reports.
In addition, Tacoma, Wash., residents can no longer put glass in their curbside bins and must instead bring them to drop-off boxes for recycling. They’re also paying a monthly surcharge to maintain other recycling services.
