Sign up for Carts for Kids and
raise funds for Mary Bridge Children's Hospital
We all know that recycling is good for the environment, but did you know that it could also be good for your local children’s hospital?

Waste Connections, known as Murrey's Disposal in Bonney Lake, has partnered with Multicare to raise funds and awareness for the many Pierce County families that benefit from the services offered through Mary Bridge Children's Hospital. "Carts for Kids" is available in our community.

To-date 222 members of the community have donated and received their purple "CARTS FOR KIDS" recycle cart. More than $44,000 has been raised for Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.

Here’s how to help: As a customer of Murrey's Disposal, you can donate $200 to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, and the team will replace your existing recycle cart with a purple Mary Bridge Children’s cart. Murrey's Disposal will continue to service your recycling as usual, while you show your support for Mary Bridge Children’s.

100 percent of your donation will benefit the children and families served at Mary Bridge Children’s.
