The following list details Redmond Recycle
Event inadmissible items and restrictions.
1. NONE of the following materials will be accepted at the
Spring Recycling Event:
- Paper documents containing personal/sensitive information.
The Paper Shredding Station will be available only at the Summer
Recycling Event (July 17) and the Fall Recycling Event (October 2).
- Regular household trash that fits into your curbside garbage tote
and is collected weekly by
Waste Management.
- Yard debris such as grass clippings, leaves
and tree branches less than 4 inches in diameter which is recycled
weekly through the curbside
Yard Waste Program between March and
November, and bi-weekly between December and February. If you
have more than can fit into your yard debris totter and you do not
wish to pay the extra curbside collection fee, you may take your
yard debris to one of the local private composting facilities which
will also charge you a fee to recycle.
- Recyclables including cardboard boxes which are recycled weekly
through the curbside
Recycling Program with no volume limit.
- Sawdust and sod which are accepted for a small fee at Pacific
Topsoil, 425-882-9194.
- Railroad ties. Accepted at King County's
Houghton Transfer
Station, 206-296-6540.
- TV sets, computers and monitors (the "big three"). Disposal options: "Big
Three" of Electronics
- Household hazardous waste materials. Disposal
options: Haz-Mat
- Wood Waste Restrictions
We accept ONLY tree stumps, tree branches, firewood and logs that
are 4 inches or larger in diameter. Any small branches (less than 4
inches in diameter) must be sawed off from big ones (4 inches or
larger in diameter) and only the latter can be brought to the event. We will NOT accept regular yard debris, defined as small
branches less than 4 inches in diameter, grass clippings, leaves or
sod. We will deny entry to any vehicle bringing regular yard
debris or even a mixed load with regular yard debris. This
rule will be strictly enforced to avoid material contamination. The
bulky wood waste collected at the event is recycled, requiring a
different process; even a small amount of regular yard debris will
contaminate an entire load of bulky wood materials and make the wood
non-recyclable. The city must then pay a higher fee to dispose of
the contaminated load as garbage.
Please prepare your wood waste accordingly and bring only those
acceptable items to the event.
We appreciate your understanding and
cooperation.
