💡 One Useful Tip
♻️ Bothell residents can request recycling vouchers
If you live inside Bothell city limits, you can request up to two recycling vouchers each year for the Shoreline Recycling & Transfer Station.

Textiles, non-refrigerant large appliances, scrap metal and several other materials are already free there, without a voucher.
