Enumclaw, Wastemobile joining forces for June event

The Wastemobile will be collecting hazardous materials at the Enumclaw Expo Center June 4, 5, and 6.

If you’ve got junk to recycle or hazardous materials you want safety tossed, mark you calendars — June 4, 5, and 6 will see the city of Enumclaw and King County’s Wastemobile collecting myriad items for proper disposal.
