Yes. Your compost and yard waste bin should not exceed 200 lbs. You can receive an extra bin if one is necessary. You can even receive one on a temporary basis (for example, during spring or fall).
- During inclement weather we make all efforts to pick up as conditions safely allow.
- Place your garbage and recycle at the curb by 6:00am, on your regular scheduled day.
- If you cannot safely get your cans to the curb, please double up for the following week.
- If the garbage is not collected by 4:00 pm, remove it from the curb, and set it out the following week.
- Recycle and Yard Waste rotate weeks and the schedule remains the same throughout the year. During inclement weather and a missed pick up occurs, please refer to the pickup schedule calendar for your next regular or recycle or yard waste collection day. This schedule does not change.
Your service day becomes one day late for the remainder of the week. For example, if a holiday falls on a Tuesday and your normal service day is Wednesday, then your new service day for the week is Thursday.
It’s best to contact our office at (206) 842-4882.
No. You want to keep your septic tank and drain field away from any invasive or oversized roots. These roots could damage your system over time.
Yes. Our drivers are equipped with electronic devices to help you locate your septic system. We also have access to online septic reports and locations.
Yes. A septic tank riser is a pipe made of either plastic, fiberglass, or concrete. It creates a vertical portal at the ground surface for easy access to the septic tank for inspection and pumping out. The lid is then either left exposed or with a very thin layer of soil and grass over it.
A riser is beneficial because it makes your septic tank more assessable. It also helps you save on labor expenses if there is an issue with your septic system.
Yes. Note that Kitsap County requires a certified inspection report for all septic tank pump outs.
Can I overload the drain field or pump by doing multiple loads of laundry in a short amount of time?
Yes. It’s best to spread out washing laundry, dishes and taking multiple showers over time, especially with older systems and in rainy conditions. Allowing time for the system to recover between uses will help keep it healthy and functioning.
Every four years, for a household of four is the best schedule to remember. You should have your septic tank pumped more frequently for larger households and less frequently for single user households.

If you missed your pickup, double up for your next pick up. Our trucks have tight schedules and returning for missed bins is not possible.
We observe the following holidays:
- New Years
- Memorial Day
- Fourth of July
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving
- Christmas
If your pickup falls on one of the above days, or thereafter on a holiday week, service is one day late. For example, if the New Years is on a Wednesday, then our trucks will be running one day late for Wednesday and Thursday customers.
Route times and schedules may vary during holiday weeks, so it is important to have your bins out at 6:00 am.
The best routine is to always have your bins out by 6:00 am. This is true rain, snow, or shine. If you cannot get them safely to the curb, double up for the next week.
As conditions may vary depending on you location and other variables, we may be running late or find it necessary to cancel service. If we have not arrived by 5:00 pm, please remove your bins from the curb and double up for the following week.
Place it next to you bin with your address or account number on the extra bag or bin. Additional rates apply for extras.

No. Our trucks are automated and recycle items must fit into your bin.
You no longer have to read symbols or guess what goes in your bin. Check out our Recycle Right link and see how easy it is.
Putting non-recyclable items in your recycling bin contaminates the recycling stream and can result in costly damage to recycling equipment. It can also cause added expense to a recycling program. Know how to Recycle Right by clicking here.
Our drivers may reject contaminated bins, and service fees may apply. If you’re in doubt as to whether an item is recyclable, throw it in your garbage bin.
