Working to Keep Plastics out of Puget Sound

Olympia Computer Teams Up With Lions to Recycle Plastic Film

Olympia Computer Teams Up With Lions to Recycle Plastic Film

 
Olympia Host Lions are back in the recycling business - this time to help keep plastic film out of Puget Sound - and this time with the support of local businesses, including Olympia Computer.


Olympia area Lions and the Thurston County Food Bank have teamed up with the Trex Company, Inc., maker of Trex decking, to collect and recycle the soft film plastic that local recyclers don’t accept.  


Olympia Computer will serve as a collection site, along with collecting our own plastic for recycling.

We will be collecting stretchy plastics or those marked with a 2 or 4.  All plastics must be clean and dry.   See complete list off acceptable plastics.


Olympia Computer is a green business providing IT services in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater for both homes and businesses.

  • Plastics marked with a number 2 or 4
  • Plastic that stretches (if no number on the item, then the item must stretch)
  • Produce & bread bags
  • Grocery bag
  • Cereal box liner
  • Ice bags and News paper bags
  • Ziploc & other re-closable bags 
  • Case overwrap – like wrap on bulk tissue or water
  • Amazon, Macys, Costco plastic order bags 
  • Plastic shopping bags
  • Bubble wrap and Plastic envelops with bubble wrap lining

Let's work together for a better local community in Olympia. Olympia Computer's IT services also include Lacey & Tumwater. Being a green business help us be a better partner for your home or business. 

Drop off your recycled plastic film at Olympia Computer

Drop off your recycled plastic film at Olympia Computer

Olympia Computer will be working with local businesses to  accept their bagged plastic downtown at Olympia Computer at 209 Washington St. NE. 

For bulk amounts of plastic, local green businesses may be able to arrange pickup by the Lions.

Businesses that want to take part in the recycling effort can call the Olympia Computer office at 360 995-1010 for more information.  


Other businesses collecting their plastic for the Lions recycling project  include:


Cranes Total Office, 1006 E 4th Ave

The Creative Office, 721 Legion Way SE


City of Olympia, Waste ReSources is also collecting their plastics for this program.


IT services can be green, too. 

Available in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater. 

Where does the plastic go from here?

Drop off your recycled plastic film at Olympia Computer

Plastic film collected by the Lions and local green businesses for recycling will be stored temporarily at the Thurston County Food Bank.  Food bank staff will weigh and transport the plastic to a local Safeway store where it will be shipped to the Trex company to be turned into Trex decking and outdoor furniture.


Less Pollution, More Benches for Olympia

 Along with protecting Puget Sound from harmful plastic pollution, the plastic recycling project will earn Lions Trex outdoor benches they can place at public locations here in town. 


Lions will get a free bench – made from 95% recycled material – when they gather 500 pounds of plastic in a six month period.  (Spoiler alert - it takes a LOT of plastic film to weigh up 500 pounds! Start saving your plastic film today!) 

A Tidbit of Olympia Recycling History

This is not the first time Olympia Host Lions have led recycling efforts in Olympia.


Back in the mid 1940’s,  Olympia Host Lions started the city’s first newspaper recycling program, with door-to-door pickups by the Lions.  


A profitable fundraiser, the recycling effort eventually changed to a downtown drop off point – a train box car painted in Lions colors and dubbed Tresner’s Trolley after long time Lion Dale Tresner.  


Falling paper prices, competition from municipal recyclers and fires started by transients in the box car eventually brought an end to the project in the late 1990’s.



Seeking Sustainability in All we do at Olympia Computer

Olympia Computer Green Initiatives

Green Goals

Olympia Computer has laid out the following sustainability goals :

1. Seeking out and engaging local professionals (accountant, insurance agent, realtor, lawyer) as we build a more localized team to support our company;

2. Continuing our employee ride sharing and telecommuting plans, finding additional ways to cut commuting miles where possible

3. Identifying ways we can cut service miles by grouping site visits, offering discounts on given days for outlying areas so techs travel to those outlying sites only one or two days per week, identifying more potential clients closer to our home office, and increasing numbers of clients served remotely

4. Finding additional outlets for recycling packaging materials and other recyclables

5. Identifying and replacing items used in our office or computer repair shop that contribute unnecessarily to the waste stream

6. Increasing the number of computers, phones and related items we accept for recycling and re-use

7. Reducing our use of single-use plastics and keeping a green business status

8. Opening an office in the downtown business core to encourage IT services techs to walk to majority of our local clients, encourage use of transit, and lessen need for travel by local clients dropping off equipment.

9. Reducing electrical energy consumption

10. Increasing awareness of conservation opportunities with our staff, our clients and the general public

Save Money on Your Computer Energy Use

Computer usage accounts for a good chunk of business energy costs.  If you would like to learn how to cut those costs for your computer system and networked devices,  use our handy checklist or  talk to an Olympia Computer tech about a walk through audit of your system.  No charge and no obligation.  Just give us a call today.
