New Recycling Rules
A new City of Seattle ordinance, #121372, requires all businesses to recycle paper, cardboard and yard debris starting January 1, 2005. The ordinance is designed to increase Seattle's recycling rate, conserve resources and lower the cost of doing business. To learn more about the ordinance, please see the link below.
