Bellingham contracts residential garbage, recycling, and organics to Sanitary Service Company, and the city has moved to single-stream recycling with organics collection required for single-family homes. SSC supplies a 90-gallon recycling Toter collected every other week, and cardboard now goes inside that cart rather than beside it. A short list of materials still rides next to the cart, and hazardous waste goes to the county instead.
Sanitary Service Company provides residential garbage, recycling, and organic waste service under contract with the City of Bellingham. Curbside recycling pickup is included with garbage service no matter how often garbage is collected, and SSC provides a 90-gallon recycling Toter on every-other-week collection.
Bottles, cans, plastic containers, scrap paper, newspaper, and cardboard, all empty and clean. Under single-stream collection, cardboard goes inside the Toter. See our paper recycling and plastic recycling guides for preparation basics.
Aerosol cans, lead-acid batteries, cords and wiring, scrap metal, string lights, and used motor oil are set beside the recycling container for pickup. SSC asks that these be placed in a box next to the Toter.
SSC does not accept hazardous or dangerous waste, including paints and solvents, fluorescent lights, oil, gasoline and antifreeze, asbestos, and pesticides and chemicals. The city directs residents to the Whatcom County Disposal of Toxics Facility. See our household hazardous waste guide.
The city no longer offers the seasonal Clean Green program. SSC FoodPlus! organics collection is required for single-family homes in Bellingham, and WSU Whatcom County Extension provides guidance for composting at home. See our yard waste guide.
