National Preparedness Month

Imagine you are at work or at home and your child is at school or on a playdate when a disaster strikes. Do they know what to do if you are not around?

September is National Preparedness Month and we encourage you to “Be Prepared, Not Scared!”

Preparing your family for an emergency is as simple as a conversation over dinner. Get started today with resources available through these websites:

Crosswalk safety reminder

Safer school walk routes are available in our community thanks to your support of the Safe Streets & Sidewalks Levy and we have a video to remind students about how to use crosswalks in our community.

Wastemobile

The Wastemobile is back for two final events in 2019! Stop by The Seattle Times Building Sept. 13 – 15 and Oct. 18 – 20 to safely dispose of your household hazardous waste. For a full list of accepted items, request a Wastemobile checklist at www.bothellwa.gov/wastechecklist or visit www.hazwastehelp.org/hhw/whattobring.aspx.

Have sensitive documents to dispose?

Don’t miss the Community Shred Event on Sat, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the Evergreen Church parking lot (3429 240^th St. SE Bothell, WA 98021). City of Bothell residents can drop off three paper grocery bags or two file/copy boxes of documents for secure shredding, non-perishable food donations for a local food bank, clean and dry Styrofoam, and bagged plastic bags for recycling. For more information, visit www.bothellwa.gov/shredevent.

Times are strict; no drop offs before or after the event will be accepted. Also, event attendees will not be able to watch material be shredded. You will drop off items in bin and bins will be transported to the shred truck for shredding by event staff.

Recycling Collection Event

If you have large appliances, scrap metal, clean wood, or other special items that need to be recycled, pick up a voucher for our annual Recycling Collection Event now through Nov. 1 at The Recology Store. City of Bothell residents can request up to two vouchers per year, eligible for use at the Shoreline Recycling and Transfer Station. Visit www.bothellwa.gov/recycleevent for details..

New Utility Billing System for City of Bothell Water & Sewer Accounts
