King County has collaborated with its ten Issaquah neighbourhoods to recycle food waste instead of diverting them to landfills. In this way they will recycle food waste and the collected mountain of food scrap will be featured in neighbourhoods. The neighbourhoods will recycle food waste to enrich the local community food bank harvest. According to Gerty Coville, King County project manager, it is estimated that the 10 neighbourhoods will contribute around 450 pounds of food waste and food wastepaper, diverted from landfills in a month's time. If recycle food waste is continued in this fashion then the space in the landfills can be used for what they were meant for.
The residents also understood what it meant to recycle food waste and how much food waste each house generated. The food scraps collected would be diverted to the Cedar Grove Composting, and two months later the food waste turned compost would be given away to the Issaquah Flatland Community Garden.

A free electronic waste recycle event has been organised in Wagener next month. The electronic waste recycle event has been scheduled for Saturday, the 17th of September at 163 Earle Street Wagener. The timings are 9 am to 12 noon. According to Rodney Cooper, Solid Waste Supervisor, this is the beginning of electronic waste recycle events in the county which he hopes will start as a quarterly affair and finally culminate to a monthly. However this electronic waste recycle event is for residential wastes only wherein the waste is handed over to the recycling company.
Under a new state law in South Carolina no person can knowingly discard or dump electronic wastes in landfills. The main purpose is to keep the environment safe by preventing hazardous material from entering the soil and water and to promote electronic waste recycle by diverting useful material to recycling industry.

A fashion student by the name of Rebekah Kirkland has come up with an idea for recycled clothing that has left everyone dumbfounded but mostly amazed. The fashion student from Leicester College recently won the Leicester College Sustainable Design Award for the year 2011, while beating another piece of recycle clothing made from newspapers by a fellow student.
The dress is made up entirely of packets of Walkers Crisps packets stitched together in 8 layers to create a visually attractive fashion phenomenon after the painstaking task of stitching hundreds of bags together without ripping them. And the cost, you ask? The dress cost Rebekah almost nothing as all empty packets were donated by friends, family and fellow students to support the idea of recycled clothing.
