Recycling Guidelines

Curbside Collection

All-in-One Recycling is required for all Port Orchard residents. It is collected every other week on the same day as garbage.

Yard waste is collected from subscribers in burn ban areas on Wednesday or Friday the same week as recycling. Your collection day is noted on the lid of your yard waste cart.

Where can we put all those plastics?


By Tom Watson
Special to The Seattle Times

Plastics and recycling have a complicated relationship…. Plastics recycling seems to confuse and frustrate consumers more than any other type of recycling. More


A New Way to Recycle

Area curbside recycling companies are rolling out new “all-in-one” recycle carts for residents. The 64-gallon carts, with wheels and blue lids, replace the old three bin system. Residents with long gravel driveways who choose to stay with the three bins may do so. 

According to Dave Peters, Kitsap County’s Recycling Coordinator, “Sorting your recycling just got a lot easier. Waste Management customers can put everything in one cart."

The new program includes two new items. Residents can now add rinsed out gable top milk and juice cartons, and frozen food boxes, as long as there is no food residue. Other items accepted at curbside are plastic bottles, phone books, glass, mail and magazines, cans, newspaper, plastic dairy tubs, paper cereal-type boxes, and cardboard that fits in the cart....

There are other changes to curbside recycling in Kitsap County . Curbside yard waste pick-up, which is available to residents in burn ban areas, now includes shredded paper, pulp egg cartons, and vegetable food waste in addition to grass, leaves, weeds, prunings, and 4” diameter branches.

For more information about curbside service, residents should contact their recycling company. For other waste reduction and recycling information, visit or call The Open Line at 360-337-5777.

Some recycling dos & don'ts

Combined bottles, cans, paper and cardboard collected from residences and businesses, as well as debris from construction and demolition projects are sorted at Waste Management's Cascade Recycling Center in Woodinville.
