INCLEMENT WEATHER INFORMATION:

Our service Alerts page (https://sedro-woolley.wa.us/departments/solid_waste/service_alerts.php) has the most current information available or call our Weather and Information Hotline for Garbage and Recycling 360-855-0929.

During snow and ice events, hills are our biggest challenge. If our trucks start sliding, they usually do not stop, and this is not safe for equipment or our drivers. When very cold, sometimes equipment freezes up and we cannot go out that day, or we are limited on the areas and services we can provide. Here are a few answers that may help.

Question: When will my garbage and recycling be picked up?
Answer: When your hill becomes safe, and or the snow and ice is gone. If you can, please plan to hold over your garbage and recycling for one week.

Question: Will I be charged for the extras I put out the next week?
Answer: No, you will not.

Question: What if I cannot make it until the next pick up?
Answer: You may call us and we will make every effort to accommodate you.

Question: Our neighbor’s garbage and recycling were picked up on a different day and I did not have my cart out to be picked up. What should I do?
Answer: If possible please hold your garbage over until your next regular pick up day. If you have too much garbage to do so, please call us at 360-855-0929.
