Video's on King County's Solid Waste System

One way of educating the public is through video's of the facilities and the system.

What happens to my recyclables?
A video developed by King County showing residents what happens to waste once it leaves your curb.

City of Seattle Videos
The city of Seattle has created a multitude of videos that show residents the ins and outs of the system. The city of Seattle's system is different than King County's so check with the "What do I do with?" on King County's Website to make sure.
