Committee seeks to add Lake Forest Park to Solarize Kenmore effort, plans recycling outreach with Republic Services
Summary
Committee members said they are meeting with Solarize Kenmore organizers to add Lake Forest Park to the program, recalled 22 local home assessments two years ago, and outlined a planned 'Can I recycle this?' outreach event with Republic Services tied to a raffle prize.
Lake Forest Park Climate Action Committee members said they will meet with Solarize Kenmore organizers about formally adding Lake Forest Park to a next Solarize campaign and described plans for a recycling outreach event run with Republic Services.
Committee members said Solarize-style outreach involves a vetted list of solar installers who provide free home assessments; the group recalled that about 22 Lake Forest Park homes received assessments in the prior Solarize campaign two years earlier, although follow-through numbers were not specified. The committee said Solarize Kenmore would perform the technical work and that Lake Forest Park would be added as a partner name if organizers agree.
Separately, the committee discussed an outreach booth developed with Republic Services that would show a short video of material-sorting processes and allow residents to ask “Can I recycle this?”—bringing items for staff to review on site. Committee members said organizers hope to standardize recycling signage across Kenmore and Lake Forest Park and to include a raffle; one donated prize mentioned was a countertop food dehydrator for converting food waste.
Committee members said they will prepare briefing sheets describing each event, identify volunteer roles, and coordinate publicity. They said more detail about logistics, volunteer staffing and how many homeowners follow-through from prior solar assessments are not specified in the meeting record.
