Free Limited-Service Recycling

If your business has a City of Seattle commercial garbage account (i.e. with CleanScapes or Waste Management), you are eligible for the free cart recycling program. This program gives you up to two 64-gallon carts for commingled recycling collected every other week.  To opt for this service or to ensure that you receive continuing service on your recycling carts, follow these simple steps:

• Identify your garbage service provider by clicking on the map of designated service areas.
• Call your garbage hauler:

         CleanScapes:                   (206) 250-7500
         Waste Management:        (800) 592-9995 or (206) 762-3000

• Request new or continued free cart recycling service
