Special Wood Debris Recycling Events Set To Help King County Residents Recover From Storms

January 26, 2012

King County Executive Dow Constantine has cleared the way for free disposal of branches, tree limbs and other wood debris left in the wake of recent wind and snow storms.

“We have made it easy for residents to dispose of debris so they can quickly put the storms of last week behind them and move on with life,” said Executive Constantine.

Free wood debris recycling for King County residents will be available on Jan. 28-29, and again on Feb. 4-5 at four locations:

• The Shoreline, Enumclaw and Cedar Falls solid waste facilities. For directions and hours, visit http://your.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste/index.asp.
• At Kent’s Russell Road Park, 24400 Russell Rd., Kent. Clean wood debris will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
