Antifreeze, batteries, cooking oil: All are recyclable -- for free
EVERETT — At the Airport Road Recycling and Transfer Station, residents can recycle items for free that would never be feasible for curbside bins — like lawn mowers.
The Snohomish County Public Works facility, just down the road from Paine Field, has rows of containers labeled for traditionally recyclable items, like beverage cans and cardboard, as well as bins for things like batteries and propane tanks.
Before this recycling program started about 15 years ago, county solid waste managers noticed residents were throwing away motor oil and other items not safe for garbage collection services, said Dave Schonhard, the solid waste director for county Public Works. County staff then worked with local vendors to offer more accessible recycling options.
“You drop off and drive away,” Schonhard said.
