Curbside Recycling & Garbage

In most areas, curbside garbage collection includes curbside recycling.  To see if your house is within the curbside recycling boundary, check the recycling boundary map (in Adobe PDF format). Your recycling service provider will issue a wheeled cart or recycling bins, instructions, and a calendar of collection days. Combined garbage and recycling bills will be sent to you quarterly.

Yard debris collection is an optional service available to residents living in the burn ban areas. Leaves, weeds, prunings, grass clippings, brush, and woody material up to 4" in diameter and 3' in length can be recycled. Yard debris service includes the use of a 90-gallon wheeled cart that holds three times as much as a standard 32-gallon trash can.

Recycling Fee Exemption Program:  Low-income seniors and low-income disabled residents living in unincorporated Kitsap County may qualify for the recycling exemption program. Qualifying citizens neither receive nor are billed for curbside recycling service. To qualify for this program, you must be the property owner and have a tax reduction or exemption on the property granted by the Kitsap County Assessor's Office.

Complaints about garbage, recycling, or yard waste collection service customers in the unincorporated county should be filed with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission at 1-800-562-6150 or on-line at: http://wutc.wa.gov/fileacomplaint
