Dicks is one of our favorite local fast food chains. They have five locations around the Seattle area, and a legion of loyal customers. Raoul and I were enjoying a fine dining experience there this last weekend. I’m not sure how long they have had these impressive recycling containers. But I was so happy when I realized they weren’t regular trash cans. All their food packaging can go in the compostables containers! Plus they have pictures of everything that is considered compostable on the side.
So of course I had to hop out of the car with my camera phone to take this picture, and share the news.

Great. Dicks is a special treat. Cheap but expensive on the old waistline. I am sure they are doing a huge part in recycling because they are always busy.

You are so right about Dicks’ food being tough on the waistline. Those fries are worth the extra lap of walking around the neighborhood though. When our grown sons fly back to visit us, one will detour to Dicks before he even hits our house!

Oh Dick’s Deluxe…I love you so. Even more now that I can compost the wrapper! Thanks for the good news, Beth!

Seattle is tops in recycling!

It is pretty darn easy to recycle so many things in our Seattle area. I’m reminded of how spoiled we are in that area when we travel to some other states.
