A $15 million boost to Spokane plant will enable a lot more Tri-City recyclables to be processed.

Where do we stand with plastic bags in Washington?

Green Glove Award had been won every year by San Francisco since its inception in 2008.

KDRV-TV in Medford is reporting a woman is facing theft charges over multiple cases of water. But it's what she DID with the cases that's raising eyebrows.

Whether it's Sunnyside, Spokane or Portland, recycling experts from all around have had it up to here (picture a hand at my neck) with people who are inconsiderate recyclers! Each item in the blue bin must be hand-sorted. Here's why they're mad:

You probably didn't, as the state hasn't exactly done a great job of letting people know.  CFL's, or compact fluorescent lights, are most commonly known as the "curly tail" bulbs that often don't fit inside standard lampshades.  But they are going to cost you $.25 cents more all across the state, starting  January 1st.

This isn't a joke, it's real!  Seattle to peek in your dumpster, to see if you're throwing away food or compostable materials!   If you are, it's a ticket!

According to a new division of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this is an "opportunity" to make good use of something we have LOTS of - tumbleweeds!
