Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891
Former Puget Island resident and 1998 Wahkiakum High School graduate Jeanette Brizendine was recognized by the Washington State Recycling Association (WSRA) as Individual Recycler of the Year at the association’s awards banquet on May 14.
Brizendine is the City of Federal Way Recycling Project Manager. She was honored for her commitment to developing and implementing programs that engage the public and increase participation in recycling, including Federal Way’s Recycle Palooza Contest and Family Green Fest. Her efforts also increased recycling “beyond the curb,” including 10,000 pounds of shredded confidential documents, 55 car seats, and 20 cubic yards (880 lbs) of Styrofoam.
Recyclers of the Year are selected by a panel of WSRA members representing a variety of aspects of the recycling industry, including collectors and processors, government agencies, businesses and non-profit organizations.
