Thirty years ago, Pierce County’s solid waste division had just one educator to promote our new curbside recycling program and offer a few lessons at schools. But today, we are active in 40-50 different schools every year. We reached more than 9,900 learners for a total of 24,400 hours of teaching in 2017!
Our goal at Pierce County is to maximize the efficiency of our recycling program by focusing on materials with reliable demand. Here’s how you can help us navigate the complexities and keep your rates affordable.
