Why didn't they pick up my trash today?

The only time the City will intentionally skip your trash pickup is if the pickup schedule was altered by inclement weather, a holiday, or construction/maintenance in the area. View the City's holiday pickup schedule. If inclement weather or construction/maintenance are affecting pickup, the crew will return as soon as they are able.

If none of these circumstances apply, the missed pickup was likely just an oversight. You can contact the Finance Department at 360-834-2462 to request a return trip, or the Sanitation Hotline at 360-817-1531 after business hours. If the miss was due to the can not being curbside, or not being out by 6:30 am on pickup day, you may be assessed a return trip fee.
