~ Tacoma, Washington - The City of Tacoma is taking steps to reduce waste and promote sustainability by partnering with local organizations for their "Beyond the Bin" initiative. This program aims to keep valuable materials out of landfills by giving them a second life in the community.
The city has joined forces with Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity, Northwest Center, and the Northwest Furniture Bank to host a series of free collection events from May through September 2025. These events will take place every second and fourth Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM at the Tacoma Recovery & Transfer Center on S. Mullen Street.
Community members are encouraged to drop off unwanted reusable items such as clothing, toys, housewares, small appliances, and furniture. The donated items will be redistributed or repurposed, benefiting the community while reducing waste in landfills. However, certain materials like mattresses, large appliances, and hazardous waste will not be accepted.

The collection events will operate on a first-come, first-served basis and will end once trucks are full. This initiative not only promotes sustainability but also provides an opportunity for community members to declutter their homes while giving back to those in need.
Maria Lee from the City's Media & Communications department stated that "Beyond the Bin" is an important step towards creating a more environmentally conscious community. She also added that more details about accepted items and event dates can be found on the city's website at cityoftacoma.org/beyondthebin.
The City of Tacoma hopes that this partnership with local organizations will encourage community members to think beyond just throwing things away and instead consider how they can give these items a second life in their own community.
