As we reach the end of the year, we would like to keep you informed of upcoming holidays that may affect your refuse service.

If you’re wondering what to do with your Christmas tree after the 25th, Camp Prime Time is offering a Christmas Tree recycling service to benefit their recreational facility for seriously ill or disabled children and their families. All you need to do is take your tree to Washington Tractor, 3110 Fruitvale Boulevard between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm December 26th through January 5th. If you would like our Refuse drivers to pick your tree up from your home, please call the Refuse Department at (509) 575-6005 to set an appointment. The cost is $10.00 for trees up to 5 feet, $15.00 for trees greater than 5 feet. These taller trees need to be cut in half before pickup.
When service is interrupted for holidays, collection is delayed for 1 day for the remainder of the week. For example, if a holiday falls on a Wednesday, residents scheduled for refuse collection on Wednesday will have their carts collected on Thursday and so on until Friday-scheduled carts, which are collected on Saturday. Starting the following Monday, service resumes on the normal schedule. Also, please visit our observed holidays list to see all of the days when service may be postponed. If you have any questions, please call the Refuse Department at (509) 575-6005 or use our contact form.
