Each year, Recology King County, BOMA Seattle/King County, and Seattle Public Utilities celebrate the green achievements of local businesses with the Golden Dumpster Awards. We are excited to recognize and promote those properties who are leading the way and implementing best practices to reduce waste, decrease solid waste management costs, and conserve natural resources.
Platinum Dumpster winners are previous Golden Dumpster Winners who have continued to improve performance.
The Golden Dumpster and Platinum Dumpster competition is sponsored by Recology King County, BOMA Seattle/King County and Seattle Public Utilities. All BOMA member property managers in Seattle are eligible and encouraged to apply.
