The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Redmond contracts its residential garbage, recycling and compost collection to Recology, which took over the route under a new city contract. A household sets out the three Recology carts on its collection day, and anything too large for a cart goes out through an on-call bulky item collection, where a single-family customer is entitled to one no-cost collection a year of up to three pieces or one cubic yard as long as no item is larger than three feet by three feet. Items that are hard to recycle but small, such as batteries, motor and cooking oil, foam, textiles, small appliances and electronics, fluorescent tubes and camping propane canisters, can go at the curb as a special item collection next to the recycling cart when the bill payer requests it. The Recology Store on 161st Avenue takes more hard-to-recycle material in person, household hazardous waste goes to a King County collection site with no appointment and no fee, and televisions, computers, monitors, laptops, tablets, e-readers and portable DVD players recycle free through E-Cycle Washington.

Support is open Monday to Friday seven in the morning to seven at night and weekends eight to seven.
When & how
On the household's assigned collection day, with the carts at the curb by seven in the morning. The service day comes from the operator's own schedule tool.
Get it ready
Keep recyclables empty, clean and dry, and keep the streams separated between the garbage, recycling and compost carts. Manage the cart account online to start, stop or change service, have a cart repaired or replaced, or book a bulky item collection, and note that the city lists a free carry-out service for residents with disabilities, a reduced rate for low-income seniors and disabled customers, and wildlife-resistant carts for areas with animal activity.
Recycling is one of the three Recology carts, and the city also lists newer curbside streams for material that does not belong in the cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Recycling is part of the contracted three-cart service rather than a separate charge, and the hard-to-recycle streams that go out at the curb are part of the same service.
When & how
On the household's assigned collection day with the carts at the curb by seven in the morning; a scheduled special item collection goes out on the same collection day.
Get it ready
Keep recyclables empty, clean and dry so the material can be sorted. Curbside service now includes Styrofoam, batteries, textiles, lightbulbs and organics, and the city's Waste Buster tool answers what goes where for a specific item.
organics are one of the three Recology carts, so food and yard material are collected at the curb rather than going into the garbage.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. organics are part of the contracted three-cart service, and the city lists organics among the streams the curbside collection now includes.
When & how
On the household's assigned collection day with the cart at the curb by seven in the morning.
Get it ready
Keep food and yard material in the organics cart rather than the garbage cart, because the city explains that diverting organic material extends the life of the landfill and lowers emissions. The Waste Buster tool answers which specific items are compostable.
Large items are collected on call, and a single-family household gets one no-cost bulky collection a year up to three pieces or one cubic yard.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A single-family customer is entitled to one annual no-cost collection of up to three pieces of bulky waste or up to one cubic yard of garbage, provided no individual item, bag or box is larger than three feet by three feet. Service charges and disposal or recycling fees apply to anything beyond that allowance.
When & how
Book the collection in advance by calling 425-552-1008 or using the online service portal, then put the items at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled pickup date. The operator says items go out on the regular collection day, and only items that were scheduled may be placed at the curb.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the three feet by three feet item limit and inside the allowance so the collection stays in the free one, and keep unscheduled items off the curb. The operator names sofas and chairs, mattresses and box springs, refrigerators and freezers, and washing machines as examples of what the service takes.
Sofas and chairs are named as bulky items, and the operator asks households to consider donating usable pieces first.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A piece within the annual allowance of up to three bulky items is collected at no cost, while anything beyond that allowance carries the service and disposal charges.
When & how
Book the bulky collection in advance and set the piece at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled date.
Get it ready
Empty and dry the piece before it goes out and keep it inside the three feet by three feet item limit. The operator asks households to consider donating sofas and tables that could find a new life, because that keeps the piece out of the landfill.
Mattresses and box springs are named as bulky items, so bedding goes out through the on-call collection rather than in a cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress or box spring inside the annual allowance of up to three bulky items is collected at no cost, while anything beyond that allowance carries the service and disposal or recycling charges.
When & how
Book the bulky collection in advance, then set the set at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled pickup date.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and flat where it can be reached from the curb, and keep it inside the three feet by three feet item limit. Ask about the box spring at the same time so both pieces are booked in the one collection.
Refrigerators and freezers are named as bulky items along with washing machines, and anything beyond the annual allowance carries the disposal fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance inside the annual allowance of up to three bulky items is collected at no cost, while the operator states that service charges and disposal or recycling fees apply beyond that allowance.
When & how
Book the bulky collection in advance and set the unit at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled date.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep the door secured or removed so nothing can be trapped inside, and keep it inside the three feet by three feet item limit. Ask about any refrigerant handling when the collection is booked, because a cooling unit is treated as special handling material.
Small electronics go out at the curb as a scheduled special item, and televisions, computers and monitors recycle free through the state program.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. E-Cycle Washington is free for televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, tablets, e-readers and portable DVD players at registered collectors, keyboards, printers, toner cartridges and cell phones are free at participating Best Buy and Staples stores, small electronics go out at the curb with the special item collection, and the Recology Store takes small electronics and appliances free from its residential customers.
When & how
Put a small item out with the scheduled special item collection on the collection day, or bring a television or computer to a registered E-Cycle collector or the Recology Store during its open hours.
Get it ready
A curbside special item has to be two feet by two feet by two feet or smaller and under sixty pounds, and it goes on top of or beside the blue recycling cart, with the request made by the bill payer on the account. Wipe the personal data off anything that stores it, and call ahead when a screen is cracked, because a location may turn away a badly damaged unit.
Construction material is not part of the curbside carts, so a project load has to go to a disposal site the city's own lookup names.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no household construction rate, and the receiving site sets its own gate price for the load, so confirm the current charge before the material moves.
When & how
Arrange the drop-off trip before the work starts and keep the material off the curb and out of the carts.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition material out of the three carts, separate clean loads where the receiving site asks for it, and use the city's Waste Buster tool or the county what to do with lookup to name the site that takes a specific material before hauling it.
Exercise equipment is not named on the operator's bulky examples, so the machine has to be confirmed before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
The operator names sofas and chairs, mattresses, refrigerators and washing machines as bulky examples but not exercise equipment, so call 425-552-1008 and confirm that the machine fits a bulky collection and what it will cost.
When & how
Confirm first, then book the bulky collection and set the machine out by seven in the morning on the scheduled date if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it, keep the whole thing inside the three feet by three feet item limit, and take off a console or battery pack so anything electronic or battery powered is handled through the right stream.
Household hazardous waste goes to a King County collection site, with no appointment and no fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. King County states there is no fee for household hazardous waste at its collection sites and no appointment is needed.
When & how
The Factoria site at 13800 Southeast 32nd Street in Bellevue opens Tuesday to Friday eight to four and Saturday and Sunday nine to five, and the North Seattle site at 12550 Stone Avenue North opens Sunday to Tuesday nine to five. Both close on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day, and the county also runs a traveling Wastemobile from February to October and a free home collection program by appointment.
Get it ready
Keep every product in its own labeled container and never mix chemicals. The county publishes the accepted household product lists on its hazardous waste program pages, and a household that cannot travel can ask about the free home collection program instead.
Yard material goes into the organics cart, and the county lookup answers where a brush load goes when it will not fit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Yard material is part of the contracted three-cart service through the organics cart, and the county drop-off lookup answers where a load goes when it will not fit a cart.
When & how
Put the material in the organics cart on the household's collection day, or use the county lookup for a load that is too large for the cart.
Get it ready
Keep yard material out of the garbage and recycling carts so it reaches the organics stream, and check the Waste Buster or county lookup before hauling a large brush load so the right site takes it.
The three Recology carts go to the curb by seven in the morning on the household's collection day, with the garbage, recycling and compost streams kept apart and recyclables empty, clean and dry. Manage the account through the operator's online portal to change service, have a cart repaired or replaced, or book a bulky item collection.
