Your Services 

The city partners with Republic Services to provide cart-based and dumpster-based garbage and recycling collection to apartment or condominium properties. Garbage carts and dumpsters are gray and recycling carts and dumpsters are blue.  Your property manager or homeowners’ association is responsible for setting up a collection service account and is billed by Republic Services for collection services provided.

For an additional fee, your property may subscribe to organics collection service.  Please contact your property manager or homeowners’ association to request this service.

Bulky Waste 

Donate items in good condition to local non-profits and thrift stores. Find drop-off locations in Renton on King County's What do I do with...? website.

Bring bulky items to local transfer stations for disposal. Check King County's website for current disposal fees. Consider taking mattresses, appliances, and clean wood to Bow Lake Recycling and Transfer Station, where these items are recycled at a reduced rate. Renton Recycling and Transfer Station does not have the capacity to recycle these items and will dispose of them as garbage at a higher rate.
