For some western Washingtonians, it's been weeks since curbside garbage has been collected. The majority of trash collection services resume Friday and into next week.
Seattle customers who have regular pickup on Monday, Thursday or Friday should leave garbage out immediately for possible pickup on Friday or Saturday.
Tuesday and Wednesday customers in Seattle are encouraged to take garbage to a drop-off site. Seattle Public Utilities will operate four sites on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.:
- Lower Woodland: 50th and Whitman
- Magnuson Park: 65th street lot, Parking Lot E
- Interbay: 17th Ave. W. And W. Barrett Street
- West Seattle Stadium: 35th Ave SW & SW Snoqualmie St.
SPU said customers that missed two or more pickups due to weather will receive a $10 bill credit.
Waste Management is also opening drop-off locations for customers it cannot guarantee immediate pickup due to leftover snow and ice on residential streets. Customers will need to present a recent bill to verify service.
A service alert on Waste Management's website told customers to keep trash curbside until 6 p.m. on pickup days.
