Washington trash & bulky-item guides

Browse 6 reviewed city guides, then use the local page for the actual collection schedule, limits and service eligibility.

What changes across Washington

Washington cities and counties use different garbage contracts and bulky-item systems. Washington Ecology directs residents to county moderate-risk-waste collection sites for household hazardous waste and maintains statewide disposal resources. The city guides below focus on the local large-item and curbside rules.

Important: A state resource does not create one statewide couch, mattress or appliance pickup rule. The city, county, HOA or contracted hauler serving the address usually controls curbside bulky collection.
