City collection Furniture leaves either on the hauler's bulky pickup for an extra fee or as a self hauled garbage load at the county station, where household garbage and bulky household material is accepted at the published garbage rate. From $21 for the county garbage minimum charge for a load under 300 pounds at the Waste and Recovery Center, with heavier loads billed at $136 per ton prorated and drop boxes charged at $21 per cubic yard. Thurston County residents and businesses at the county facilities; a pickup arranged through LeMay Pacific Disposal instead carries the extra fee the county describes but does not price.
City collection A mattress is not named on the county fee table, so it travels as a household garbage load at the county station or on a bulky pickup through the hauler, and both routes accept it as ordinary household material. From $21 for the county garbage minimum charge for a load under 300 pounds at the Waste and Recovery Center, with heavier loads billed at $136 per ton prorated. Thurston County residents and businesses; the county fee table names household garbage rather than bedding, so confirm the mattress at the gate or with the hauler on 360-923-0111 if the load is unusual in size.
City collection Cooling appliances are accepted at the Waste and Recovery Center for a per item handling fee on top of the garbage rate, and they are not accepted at the Rainier or Rochester drop boxes.

Waste and Recovery Center only, with the regular garbage rate of $21 minimum under 300 pounds or $136 per ton prorated applying on top; the fee covers refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning units, water coolers and dehumidifiers.
City collection There is no city or county bulky pickup program, but the county page states that LeMay Enterprises and the City of Olympia both collect large bulky items for an extra fee and can place bins on site for bigger clean-ups. The alternative is a self hauled load at the county station billed as garbage. The county says a bulky pickup carries an extra fee but publishes no amount, because the hauler sets it, while a self hauled load at the Waste and Recovery Center is billed as garbage with a minimum charge under 300 pounds or a per ton rate above it, so confirm the pickup price on 360-923-0111 or the load price at the gate.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Tumwater does not run waste collection. The city's own service directory lists recycling centers as a non-city service and points residents to Thurston County Solid Waste, and the county's hauler table names LeMay Pacific Disposal for Tumwater and the rest of north Thurston County. Curbside garbage, recycling, food and yard waste and a bulky item pickup all come from that private hauler, which sets its own rates, so the county publishes no curbside schedule or price. The drop-off side is Thurston County's. The Waste and Recovery Center in Lacey takes household garbage, construction and roofing debris, appliances, food and yard waste and free separated recyclables, charges an extra handling fee per television, monitor and refrigerated appliance, and hosts a HazoHouse that takes household chemicals free from county residents. Tires and scrap metal go in at the regular garbage rate when they are kept separate, and loads have to be covered before they reach the scales.
Curbside service in Tumwater comes from a private hauler rather than the city or the county. LeMay Pacific Disposal serves Tumwater and the rest of north Thurston County with garbage pickup, home recycling and food and yard waste, and the county states plainly that it does not provide or oversee curbside collection.
City cost & eligibility
The county does not oversee curbside collection and the hauler sets its own rates, so no price is published on the pages read. Contact LeMay Pacific Disposal on 360-923-0111 to confirm the cart size, the collection day, the monthly charge and any additional charge for an extra pickup, or call Thurston County Solid Waste on 360-867-2491 with a general question.
When & how
Collection runs on the hauler's route day for the address, with recycling and food and yard waste on the same weekly service where the household subscribes to them.
Get it ready
Put the carts out on the collection day, keep glass to the hauler's rule, and call the hauler for anything the cart will not hold because neither the city nor the county runs a curbside bulky program.

Electronics are refused at the HazoHouse, and the county charges an extra per item handling fee when a television or monitor is disposed of as garbage at the Waste and Recovery Center. The county points residents to the free E-Cycle Washington network for recycling.

Get it ready
Cover and secure the load, separate material that can be recycled before the trip because the county facilities cannot sort it, keep asbestos loads out because they need their own preparation and carry a different rate, and expect to unload by hand at the drop boxes.
Exercise equipment is not named by the county or by the hauler's published pages, so a treadmill or a weight machine has to be arranged through the hauler's bulky pickup or taken in as a garbage load at the county station.
City cost & eligibility
No published price names an exercise machine. The hauler's bulky pickup carries an extra fee that the county does not price, and a self hauled load at the Waste and Recovery Center is billed as garbage with a minimum under 300 pounds or a per ton rate, so confirm the route on 360-923-0111 or ask at the gate.
