Curbside Collection - Basic Information
Garbage, Recycling and Yard Debris are collected on the same day each week.

Cans and carts should be put out:

  • By 7:00 AM on your collection day (actual collection times may vary)
  • With lids opening toward the street


Collection information

  • Missed pick-ups should be reported immediately:
    Call (206) 682-9735 or email us.
  • Bad weather or emergencies sometimes prevent the safe collection of containers. Generally, trucks do not run when Tukwila schools are closed for bad weather. If an emergency or bad weather prevents safe collection, take materials back inside. A double load of garbage, recycling and yard debris will be collected at no additional charge on the next regularly scheduled collection day (a week later). Excess materials due to missed collection can be put in a temporary container, such as a box or paper bag marked "Garbage," "Recycling" or "Yard Debris."
  • Holidays include Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. If your weekly service day falls on or after one of these holidays, collection will be one day later. For example, if your scheduled collection day is Thursday, "Thanksgiving," your containers will be collected on Friday, and Friday customers will have their collection on Saturday.


Rate information

  • Monthly single-family residential garbage rates are based on the size of the garbage can selected. Recycling more items may result in a smaller garbage can, which costs you less. It pays to recycle!


Large and Bulky Items

  • Allied Waste picks up large and bulky items, such as mattresses, appliances and furniture for a fee. Call 206-682-9735 for more information.
