Redmond Businesses and Organizations Recognized Redmond, WA – King County’s Solid Waste Division has named nine Redmond business and organizations to the third-annual Best Workplaces for Recycling & Waste Reduction, a list of 65 organizations this year. These King County workplaces are recognized for strong internal recycling programs and for their commitment to reducing the amount of waste their companies produce.
To qualify as a "Best Workplace", organizations must meet at least 10 out of 33 good business recycling practices—choices that range from placing recycling bins by every desk, to collecting food scraps for on or off-site composting, to having internal ‘green teams’ supporting the businesses’ programs.
The businesses and organizations in Redmond recognized for 2009 are:
City of Redmond
Accents Et cetera
Emerald Heights
FCS GROUP
Honeywell International
Lake Washington School District
Noetix Corporation
PCC Natural Markets
Thinkspace
“King County is pleased to see the list of Best Workplaces for Recycling and Waste Reduction grow from year to year,” said Sharon Aller, King County program manager for the campaign.
Mayor John Marchione added, “These businesses and organizations put extra effort into reusing, reducing and recycling, which helps keep Redmond and the Puget Sound cleaner and greener. We are proud they do business here in Redmond.”
