Seattle Public Utilities runs one of the strictest residential waste systems in the country: food and yard waste service is mandatory for every home and business in the city, and compostable material and recyclables have been banned from the garbage since 2015. Curbside recycling accepts paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and containers, glass bottles and jars, and metal cans, all sorted loose in a single cart with no bags allowed. Multi-family properties that keep tossing recyclables or food scraps in the trash can be tagged with warnings and hit with fees. Washington state has no bottle deposit law, so redemption isn't part of the local routine the way it is in Oregon or California.
Seattle Public Utilities asks residents to focus on five core categories: paper (office paper, newspaper, magazines), cardboard (paperboard and corrugated boxes), plastic bottles, containers, and tubs, glass bottles and jars, and metal cans (aluminum, tin, and steel, plus scrap metal). Everything needs to go in loose, never bagged, and should be empty, clean, and dry, since food residue and liquids can contaminate an entire load. When you're unsure about a specific item, SPU points residents to its 'Where Does It Go?' lookup tool rather than guessing.
Yes, glass bottles and jars are one of the five accepted categories in Seattle's curbside recycling cart, collected alongside paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal. Broken glass and lightbulbs are handled differently: SPU warns that broken glass is sharp and CFL bulbs contain mercury, so those should not go in with regular recycling. Intact bottles and jars, rinsed and dry, are fine for the cart.
Yes. Food and yard waste service has been required for every household of 1 to 4 units since 2012, and since 2015 Seattle bans compostable paper, food-soiled items like pizza boxes, napkins and paper towels, and yard debris such as leaves and grass clippings from the garbage entirely. Apartments and condos must also provide food and yard waste service to residents, and SPU issues warning tags for containers that mix in recyclables or compostables, with a $50 fee possible on the waste bill after two warnings.
Household hazardous waste in Seattle is handled through King County's program, with a disposal facility at the Factoria Transfer Station (Tuesday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekends 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) plus a home collection option. Electronics such as TVs, computers, laptops, monitors, tablets, e-readers, and portable DVD players can be recycled for free through the statewide E-Cycle Washington program; residents look up a drop-off location by address or zip code through the E-Cycle Washington site.
Seattle operates two City-run transfer stations for waste and recycling drop-off: the North Transfer Station in the Wallingford neighborhood, and the South Transfer Station at 130 South Kenyon Street. For large or awkward items that don't fit in home carts, SPU also offers Special Item Pickup, with one free pickup per year and a $5 charge for additional pickups. Washington state has no bottle deposit or container redemption law, unlike Oregon, so there's no cash-back incentive built into curbside recycling here.
