1. Self-haul: Load up the truck (yours, neighbor’s or rental) and haul your branches to Bow Lake Recycling & Transfer Station at 18800 Orillia Rd S in Tukwila. Fees start at $12 for the first 320 pounds—the lowest price around! You can also haul your branches to one of the Federal Way free Recycling Events in April and September (See page 4).

2. Curbside: Waste Management provides a variety of collection options, from extra pick-ups to large containers delivered to your driveway. Please call 1-800-592-9995 for pricing and details.

3. Chipping: Borrow or rent a chipper to turn your branches into mulch on-site.

4. Tree Service: There are lots of tree services around that will trim your trees and chip or haul away all the yard waste for you.

Remember to check if they are licensed and bonded before hiring.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT THESE ITEMS

IN YOUR RECYCLE CART!

Have You Been Tagged?Recycling drivers are using the new yellow “oops” tags when the wrong items are placed in the recycling cart. These easy-to-understand tags note specific items that should not be placed in the recycling such as garbage bags, food and clothing.

Our increased efforts in recycling right and reducing contamination is a result of new restrictions by China. It is up to each of us to keep recycling clean and sustainable for years to come!

Everything you put in your recycling cart should be:

CLEANGive food

containers a quick rinse

DRYDon’t leave

cardboard out in the rain

Keep cart lid closed

EMPTYPour out liquidScrape out food
