Fall
The date for the Fall Recycling Event is Saturday, October 2, 2010.
One of our most popular events is
Redmond's Recycling and Collection Event, and it's held three times
a year. The event is designed to help you reuse or recycle materials
that are currently not included in our curbside recycling programs.
It's all free (limits apply) except for refrigeration units!
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.
Questions you may have about your curbside service (Which plastics can
be recycled? What are the rules for recycling yard trimmings? etc.) may
be answered by visiting the Waste Management website. When you
open the home page for the link(s) below, follow the menu listed on the

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.

of Redmond at nr@redmond.gov or
calling 425-556-2832, or you may contact Waste Management directly at

companies, businesses and King County residents can bring their solid

transported to the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill for disposal. For

King County residents can safely dispose of
household hazardous wastes by taking them to the Household Hazardous

the year to collect paints, pesticides, cleaners, solvents, and other
chemicals from your home. Residents are not charged to drop off materials.

Hazardous Waste Management Program in King County.
