Due to icy road conditions, Seattle Public Utilities has announced that there will be no residential or commercial garbage, recycling or food/yard waste pick-up in Seattle on Monday, December 27th. A majority of the Fremont neighborhood has their pick-up regularly scheduled for Mondays, but will have their trash pick-up on Tuesday (or when the weather improves) this week. Those with Friday pick-ups will, if there are no further interruptions, have their service moved to Saturday this week.
All residential services will be delayed one day this week. Customers missed this week will be allowed to set out double their amount of garbage, recycling and yard waste at no additional charge – on the regularly scheduled collection day.
In times of snow and ice, the City of Seattle emergency planners urge everyone to not drive unnecessarily. In preparation for these times, it is important to prepare homes and businesses for cold weather and create emergency supply kits for businesses, homes, and vehicles.
