No Solid Waste Pickup Feb. 5

Due to continued icy road conditions, there will be no residential garbage, recycling or food/yard waste pickup in Seattle today, February 5. Contractors will attempt to serve priority commercial locations this afternoon.

Weather and road conditions permitting, garbage, recycling, and food/yard waste service will resume Wednesday, on a revised schedule, with customers scheduled for pickup today (Tuesday) collected tomorrow. Weather permitting, all remaining residential services will be delayed one day this week. For example, if your collection day is Friday, your garbage, recycling, and food/yard waste will be collected on Saturday.

Monday customers whose collection was missed yesterday will have their garbage, recycling, and food/yard waste picked up next Monday, Feb. 11, and are allowed to set out double their normal amount of garbage, recycling and food/yard waste at no additional charge.
