Looking for low-waste gift ideas? Give an experience this year! Event tickets are a thoughtful way to create lasting memories. You can also upcycle or repair items to give them new life. Personalized, creative gifts can reduce waste while making the season more meaningful.

Did someone say ho-ho-holiday waste? This time of year, we should also be mindful of waste from gift giving, decorations and gatherings. Have a waste-free holiday with tips from WM on @NewDayNW. No string lights in the recycling! Donate, drop them off for recycling or toss them in the garbage. See more on @KING5Seattle: bit.ly/48yWTsy.
