Marysville approves ongoing permission for community e‑waste drop‑off
Summary
After a six‑month trial, the council granted ongoing permission to Mark's E‑Waste Recycling to continue community e‑waste drop‑offs; Mark reported strong participation and agreed to provide periodic tonnage reports.
The Marysville City Council approved ongoing permission for Mark's E‑Waste Recycling to continue community electronics drop‑off operations after a successful six‑month trial.
Mark Looper told the council the program has seen a steady turnout and that collection events average "a little over 1,000 pounds per visit" at the city pickup site. He asked the council to allow the program to continue beyond the original six‑month pilot.
Councilmembers moved and seconded an amendment to make the approval indefinite; the motion passed by voice vote. Council asked Mark to provide contact information and periodic collection totals for the city and the county solid‑waste planner to support broader planning efforts.
The council noted the program is free for residents and commended Mark for coordinating with local media and county partners to increase awareness.
