Eligible Bothell Recology residential accounts may book up to TWO bulky curbside pickups PER YEAR without extra charge. This is separate from two possible $30 self-haul recycling vouchers.
Quick answer
Eligible Bothell Recology residential accounts may book up to TWO bulky curbside pickups PER YEAR without extra charge. This is separate from two possible $30 self-haul recycling vouchers.
Recology bulky appointments and recycling/self-haul vouchers are different benefits with different acceptance rules.
How to arrange collection
- Check the service account. The City separately advertises recycling/self-haul vouchers; a voucher is not an extra free curbside collection.
- Request the right pickup. Book the two-collection benefit with Recology only after confirming your residential account is eligible.
- Confirm the details. Write down the booked date, setout window, item restrictions and any total charge before arranging removal.
What can go in the pickup?
Ask Recology about mattress covering and refrigerant-bearing appliances before setting out.
Use the city or hauler procedure above. Confirm whether the item counts toward an included allowance and whether an appointment is required.
Ask about a separate white-goods appointment, doors or refrigerant handling. Do not assume the furniture truck accepts it.
Keep these out of an ordinary bulky pile unless the source explicitly permits them; ask for a licensed or municipal specialty program.
Fees, limits and other disposal options
If the pickup does not cover your item, ask the Bothell service provider for a currently open authorized transfer, reuse or recycling option. No facility is recommended here without established acceptance and access details.
Exact household charges, weight and item-preparation requirements can differ by property type or account. Do not use a nearby city’s pricing for Bothell.
