Residents subscribing to curb-side yard/food waste can put storm debris into their yard carts. Material cannot be larger than 4 inches in diameter or 4 feet in length; weight varies by container size and hauler. Waste Management will be accepting a double load of yard waste even if you were not missed on your last collection day.

Allied Waste will accept a double load of yard waste on your next regularly scheduled collection day only if you were missed. Roll-off containers (large containers dropped off by the hauler) can be delivered for storm debris where there are larger volumes or where homeowners’ associations (HOAs) want to provide a neighborhood point for debris drop-off. Container fees and disposal fees apply depending on size. Waste Management customers can call 1-800-592-9995;

Allied Waste customers can call 206-682-9735 for fees and container delivery.
