The City of Yakima's Refuse Division handles garbage and bulky-item hauling, while curbside recycling in the city comes from a private hauler rather than the city itself. That split trips people up: a question about a recycling cart goes to Yakima Waste Systems, and a question about an oversized item goes to the city. Each has its own rules for how material must be set out.
Curbside recycling in Yakima County is offered by private companies. For the City of Yakima and the unincorporated urban areas of Terrace Heights, West Valley, and Selah, the county directs residents to Yakima Waste Systems at 509-248-4213. For Selah, Union Gap, and Moxee, contact Basin Disposal at 509-248-7533.
Rates effective January 20, 2025 are $23.65 per month for a 32-gallon automated refuse cart and $27.30 for a 96-gallon cart. Carryout service, where crews retrieve the cart for you, is $41.60 for 32 gallons and $45.60 for 96 gallons.
The city offers a curbside haul-away service for items that do not fit a regular garbage cart, available to Yakima residents who receive City Utility Services. Pickup starts at $25 with additional charges for certain items, and it covers furniture and appliances, electronics, yard waste, tires, and other household items.
Yes. The Refuse Division asks that all trash be bagged with the bags completely closed and tied, that carts be at the curb by 6 a.m., and that all garbage fit inside the cart with the lid closed. Items left at the curb are not picked up without prior arrangements with the refuse department.
Place it at the curb or alley line at least 4 feet away from any obstruction, including other carts, vehicles, fences, mailboxes, and power poles, with the wheels facing your residence and the lid opening toward the road. Avoid low-hanging branches, wires, and eaves, and do not park within 4 feet of the cart.
