Garbage collection schedule changes for holiday weeks

Serving Lake Forest Park

On Christmas Day and New Year’s Day Republic Services (also known locally as Allied Waste), will not collect garbage, recycling and yard waste from its Puget Sound-area customers. This year, those holidays fall on a TUESDAY, which means for two weeks in a row (the weeks of December 24 and 31) Republic Services will observe a rolling schedule:

Monday (Dec 24 and 31) – collection as usual

Tuesday (Dec 25 and Jan 1) – no collection

*Rolling schedule begins*

Wednesday (Dec 26 and Jan 2) – Tuesday customers collected

Thursday (Dec 27 and Jan 3) – Wednesday customers collected

Friday (Dec 28 and Jan 4) – Thursday customers collected

Saturday (Dec 29 and Jan 5) – Friday customers collected

Republic Services will be back to a normal collection schedule the week of Jan 7.

Serving Shoreline

CleanScapes operates regularly on all holidays except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Years Day.

If Christmas or New Year’s Day falls on a weekday collection, all subsequent collections for the rest of the work week will be delayed one day and Friday’s material will be collected on Saturday.
