The City contracts with Waste Management/Sno-King to provide
garbage, recycling and yard waste collection services for its
businesses, multi-family complexes and single-family residences. The
City's program is designed to meet customers' individual needs instead
of a "one size fits all" model. The variable rate structure for garbage
collection allows customers to select a container that best suits their
needs pay according to how much waste they generate. As the monthly fee
includes recycling service for glass, aluminum, newspaper, and mixed
paper, the system encourages waste reduction and recycling.
Many of the questions you may have regarding your service may be
answered by visiting the Waste Management website:

Waste Management is committed to providing reliable collection for all
customers. However, in the unusual event that circumstances such as
unsafe roads interfere with regular service schedules, we appreciate
customer understanding and cooperation as we manage collection on
emergency scheduling. For updated information check the Waste
Management/Redmond website.

weeks, soil is ready for landscaping!

additional cost! Call 425-556-2897 for more information.
One of our most popular events is Redmond's

are currently not included in our curbside recycling programs.
It's all free except for TV sets, monitors, computers, copiers, stereos,
printers, PC accessories, and refrigeration units!

Looking for a way to get rid of your old, slow, or broken
computer
equipment? Would you like to stop receiving all that junk mail you keep
getting?
Well, you've come to the right place! Recycling and Waste Disposal
Programs promote waste reduction, recycling and proper disposal of
hazardous waste in the City of Redmond. A great way to reduce waste is
to put an end to
junk mail.
King County residents can safely dispose of
household hazardous wastes by taking them to the Household Hazardous
Wastemobile. The mobile unit travels from city to city throughout
the year to collect paints, pesticides, cleaners, solvents, and other
chemicals from your home. Residents are not charged to drop off materials.
For more
information about household hazardous waste disposal options, check out
the King County website at
