Recycling for Residents
City residents that would like to recycle at their homes may contact Waste Management for curb-side recycling. Visit the Waste Management website, or call 509-662-4591.
Yard Waste
The City provides yard waste pick-up services to residential customers only two times each year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Watch for adverisements announcing Spring and Fall cleanup in the local newspaper or you may contact City Hall directly for specific dates.
Items allowed for pickup include leaves, pine needles, and other yard debris that must be in plastic garbage bags. Limbs must be cut into 4 foot or shorter lenghs and tied into bundles. If there are large limbs, you are encouraged to cut them up and give them to someone for firewood. No furniture, appliances, dirt, rocks, sod, or building debris will be picked up. The yard debris should be out next to your garbage tote/dumpster and will typically be picked up the same day. Please limit the extra garbage to 3-4 bags per week.
Woody Debris
Over the last few years, Chelan County has offered a woody debris drop-off site that is located near the intersection of Icicle Road and East Leavenworth Road at the County pit. Please contact Chelan County Public Works at 509-667-6415. Woody debris is limited to limbs and branches no larger than 6 feet long and 6 inches in diameter.
