OLYMPIA – The (www.2good2toss.com) Web site is a year old, and progress is being measured by what landfills don’t have to show for it.

Created by the state Department of Ecology and its participating city and county partners, 2good2toss is a Web site where people can find new and re-usable construction materials and household items. In a year, nearly 741,500 pounds of material have been exchanged via 2good2toss, much of which may have otherwise ended up in the landfill.

Currently, participants include Clark, Columbia, Grays Harbor, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston and Walla Walla counties, as well as the cities of Richland, Shelton, Tacoma and Vancouver.
