CITY OF RENTON WASHINGTON

Staff from Republic Services and Renton's Solid Waste Utility can provide personalized assistance to managers and residents of apartments and condos:

Site consultations

Staff can assess the property's waste capacity and recommend changes that would decrease monthly garbage bills and improve the appearance of waste containers and enclosures. Staff can also implement recommendations, such as replacing damaged containers, posting signs, or changing collection frequency.

Resident outreach

Staff can provide direct, on-site outreach to residents. Visit the Resident Outreach page to learn more.

Property managers should contact Republic Services Outreach (253-239-8856) or Julie with the City of Renton (425-430-7396) for a consultation.

There are a variety of options for recycling uncommon items, such as microwaves, motor oil, and lawnmowers.

• Bring items to city-sponsored Spring and Fall Recycling Events, held at Renton Technical College
• Find local recycling drop-off locations for your items on King County's What do I do with...? website

Every unit should have at least 0.15 cubic yards of recycling capacity per week (1 cubic yard = approximately 2 large blue carts). To determine a property's recycling needs, use the following formula:

# of units x 0.15 = # of recommended cubic yards per week.

For example, apartment buildings with 80 units should have at least 12 cubic yards of recycling capacity, or 6 carts. Apartment and condo residents have unlimited recycling, so there is no charge to increase capacity.

Property managers should contact Republic Services Outreach (253-239-8856) or Julie with the City of Renton (425-430-7396) to update a property's recycling capacity.
