Snohomish County recycler faces $3.4M fine from state
MALTBY — DTG Recycle faces a $3,389,000 fine for reportedly operating without required permits and violating state law in south Snohomish County.
A Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission investigation found between Jan. 1, 2023, and June 30, 2023, the recycling company transported 3,389 loads of residual solid waste to Snohomish County facilities, according to a press release Tuesday.
Each load violated state law requiring solid waste collection companies obtain proper certificates before operating, according to the investigation. Each violation is worth $1,000.
A company spokesperson disputed the findings Thursday.
