Will the city take it?
Mill Creek collection runs through the city's hauler, which publishes the city rate schedule, the cart placement rules and the bulky item arrangement. Big items are booked rather than left out on the collection day, and anything the cart cannot take divides between the hauler's special service and the Snohomish County transfer stations and drop-off facilities that Mill Creek residents drive to.

Can I book a dishwasher or a range with the hauler?+
