Support Annual Recycling Composting Solid Waste Audits

The City of Issaquah is set to implement annual recycling and composting audits for multifamily and commercial properties, partnering with Recology King County to enhance waste management practices. These audits will focus on identifying and addressing contamination in recycling and compost services, ensuring compliance and efficiency. A Recology Waste Zero Specialist will conduct visits to document container usage and report findings to property managers, offering actionable steps to rectify any contamination issues. In addition to the audits, the Waste Zero team provides valuable resources such as on-site assistance, recycling training for staff, and educational materials like posters and tote bags. This initiative supports Issaquah’s ambitious Climate Action Plan, which seeks to divert 70% of waste from landfills by 2030 and 90% by 2050.

Property managers are encouraged to reach out to the Recology team for questions or to request services. The overall goal is to foster a more sustainable community through improved recycling and composting efforts. This proactive approach not only benefits the environment but also enhances the city’s commitment to climate action and waste reduction.
