Local Tips & Community Info
Get Some Cash Back for Those Cans and Bottles in Eastmont!
Did you know you can get a few bucks back for certain drinks you finish? Washington State has a program called "Keep Washington Clean" where you can redeem most cans and bottles with the "$.05" or "$.10" deposit. While there might not be a dedicated buyback center right in Eastmont, you can usually find redemption centers at larger grocery stores or dedicated recycling centers nearby in the greater Renton or Seattle area. It's a great way to reduce waste and get a little extra spending money! Just look for the deposit symbol on the packaging.
Give Your Gently Used Stuff a New Life Around Eastmont
Before you toss items that are still in good shape, think about donating them! For furniture, clothing, and household goods, check out the Goodwill on Rainier Avenue South in Renton. They're usually happy to take donations and help out folks in our community. If you've got tools or building materials, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Tukwila might be a good spot to drop them off. Giving items a second chance not only helps others but also keeps them out of the landfill.
