Bellevue needs your help to reduce landfill waste and keep our community beautiful for generations to come!
Want to pitch in and support a sustainable Bellevue? All it takes is being Smart with Your Cart. From your shopping cart to your curbside carts, your choices truly matter.
Check out these tips.
- Be a Conscious Shopper. Make an impact and save by only buying what you need. Modify purchasing habits to avoid throwaway items like single-use plastics.
- Make Eco-Friendly Swaps. Small changes add up! Bring your own grocery bags, combine online purchases to avoid boxes, buy used—the sky’s the limit.
- Recycle and Compost. Up to 75% of waste is recyclable, yet in Bellevue we recycle only 18%. Learn what can be recycled, then keep that green cart fed and happy! Use your brown cart to send lawn clippings—which account for almost 10% of the landfill—to compost. Reduce food waste by starting a home composting pile.
- Downsize Your Blue Cart. The City offers three landfill cart sizes and pricing options. Follow these tips so you can switch to a smaller cart size—good for your wallet and the environment!
Being Smart With Your Cart means rethinking daily habits. If we all pitch in a little, we can make a landfill of difference. Want to learn more? Visit our website for additional facts about Being Smart with Your Cart.
