The holiday season is a great time to take an inventory of your garage, closets and cupboards and set aside unwanted gently used items as charity donations. End-of-year donations can take many forms, including giving away things you no longer use or need. Many non-profit organizations and businesses collect items for those less fortunate: from coats to cribs, bikes to toys, books to business suits, as well as electronics. 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!

Weekly Tips | November 22, 2010After Thursday’s feast, while the oven cools and guests settle into pie-induced naps, the official countdown begins for the holiday season.

Weekly Tips | November 15, 2010‘Tis the season for holiday parties, family gatherings and raising a toast with friends! If your special event involves wine or champagne, consider collecting your natural corks and drop them off to be recycled. Drop-off locations include Boxwood in Seattle, the Vineyard Wine Shop in Greenwood and DeLille Cellars in Woodinville. Natural (as opposed to plastic) corks are collected locally by ReCork and recycled into shoe components, flooring, gaskets, bulletin boards and sports equipment. Recycling cork is a great way to keep a natural resource out of the landfill!
