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.
