Once each calendar year a Burien residential customer may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb, with no item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, and may also request a free collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs. Everything has to be scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322, the items sit at the curb rather than beside the carts, and a collection beyond the annual allowance is charged per item at the published rate.Official guidance

Schedule a bulky item collection with Recology at 206.767.3322 or through the bulky item request form, then set the couch out at the curb on the collection day. A Burien residential customer may have up to three bulky items, such as appliances, couches or large chairs, collected free once each calendar year, and an on call collection beyond that allowance is charged per piece at the published residential rate.Official guidance

Two routes are published. A Burien residential customer may put a mattress or box spring out on the free bulky item collection that is allowed once each calendar year, scheduled with Recology at 206.767.3322, or haul the set to the King County Bow Lake station in Tukwila, where mattresses, futons and box springs are recycled for a flat handling fee per piece with a limit of six pieces per customer per day. Wet items are refused at the recycling drop off, and stained or torn ones are accepted.Official guidance

Yes, and the doors have to be removed first. A refrigerator, freezer or washing machine is listed among the bulky items that a Burien residential customer may have collected free once each calendar year, scheduled with Recology at 206.767.3322, and an on call collection beyond that allowance is charged per item, with a refrigerator or freezer at a higher rate than a non refrigerant appliance. A household that hauls it instead can take a refrigerant appliance to the King County Bow Lake station, where it is recycled per unit and must be set upright on the concrete island.Official guidance

Exercise equipment is not named among the examples the city hauler publishes, which are sofas, chairs, mattresses, box springs, refrigerators, freezers and washing machines, so the route has to be confirmed first. Call Recology at 206.767.3322 and ask whether the machine counts as one of the free bulky items allowed once each calendar year or is charged as an on call collection, and call the county information line at 206-477-4466 before hauling it to the Bow Lake station yourself.Official guidance

The City of Burien holds a ten year garbage, recyclables and compostables contract with Recology, and Recology collects from Burien addresses under the CleanScapes name. Residential garbage service includes recycling every other week and food and yard waste every week on the same collection day, and the large item service is arranged with Recology at 206.767.3322. Household hazardous waste and self haul loads go through the King County Solid Waste Division instead, with the county information line at 206-477-4466.Official guidance

Once each calendar year a Burien residential customer may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb and request a free collection of up to three bulky items, all scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322. Beyond that allowance each on call collection is charged per item at the published residential rate, where sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs share one rate, a non refrigerant appliance costs less, and a refrigerator or freezer costs more. A household that hauls the piece itself pays the King County garbage minimum or the per item handling fees instead.Official guidance

Electronics cannot go in the garbage and instead ride the free curbside small electronics collection or a Recology Store or E-Cycle Washington drop off. Household hazardous waste is banned from the garbage, the recycling cart and the organics cart and goes to a King County collection site, and construction and demolition material is not a curbside or bulky item at all, so project loads go to the Bow Lake station or into a debris box. Bulky items such as appliances, furniture and mattresses also never go in the carts.Official guidance
