Frequently Asked Questions

What can Bellevue residents put in the recycling cart?

Plastic, paper, cardboard, glass and metal cans go in the cart. Rinse food and drink containers, shake out the liquid and let them air dry so mold does not grow. Keep the lid shut and do not overfill, because rainwater ruins the recycling inside. Plastic bags, film and wrap stay out; NextRex lists participating store drop-offs for them.

Can I recycle shredded paper in Bellevue WA?

No. Shredded paper is too small and light for the sorting facility, so it stays out of the curbside recycling cart. It stays out of the compost cart too, because home-shredded material carries plastic that Bellevue's compost does not accept. Use a shredding service or a community shred event, which sends the paper to a separate recycling stream.

Where is the Bellevue recycling drop-off center?

Republic Services' In-City Recycling Drop-Off Center is at 1600 127th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98005. It is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, for Republic's residential and multifamily customers in Bellevue. Republic publishes an accepted and refused items sheet for the center on its Bellevue page.

It is open Tuesday to Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday and Sunday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed Monday. King County residents drop off for free. Batteries, cleaners and vapes all qualify.

What are the Factoria transfer station hours?

The Factoria Recycling & Transfer Station at 13800 SE 32nd St is open Monday to Friday, 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

What happens to Bellevue garbage pickup on holidays?

Republic Services observes New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. If your collection day falls on or after the holiday that week, pickup shifts one day later. Look up your schedule by service address with the See My Service Schedule tool on Republic's Bellevue page, or call 425-452-4762 about a missed collection.

Recycling tips for Bellevue

•Plastic bags stay out of the recycling cart even when bundled, since they tangle sorting equipment.
•Tie down every load headed to Factoria, since King County charges $25 for an unsecured load.
•Sort cardboard, clean wood, scrap metal and yard waste before you reach Factoria, because the station requires them to go to recycling, not the garbage pit.
•Factoria's hazardous waste area is closed Monday, even though the transfer station opens at 6:30 AM that day.
•Republic's Bellevue customer service answers Saturday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, handy for weekend missed-pickup calls.
