City of Lynnwood sponsoring e-waste and styrofoam collection event Jan. 4

On January 4, 2025, from 10 a. m. to noon, the City of Lynnwood will host a collection event for electronic waste and styrofoam at the Lynnwood Operations and Maintenance Center. This event encourages residents to dispose of their e-waste and clean styrofoam responsibly, facilitating proper recycling and reducing landfill impact. Styrofoam must be free from tape and stickers and should be placed in clear plastic bags or brought loose to expedite the evaluation process.

Accepted electronic items include a variety of devices such as computers, laptops, LCD monitors, and televisions, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to e-waste disposal. Notably, large appliances, CRT monitors, and items containing hazardous materials will not be accepted. The partnership with Styro Recycle aims to enhance the effectiveness of this initiative, although the collection of soft foams will be unavailable on site. This event not only addresses the pressing issue of electronic waste but also promotes community participation in sustainability efforts. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to declutter responsibly and contribute to a cleaner environment.
