Curbside Garbage

Annual Bulk Item Curbside Pickup


All WM Kirkland residential garbage customers will receive a curbside collection of one bulky household item at no additional charge each year. This includes, but not limited to, one large household appliance, mattress, sofa, furniture, barbecue grill, and exercise equipment.

Additional bulky item collection is available at new, reduced rates.

Containers Out by 7 am


Collection times may vary as routing schedules change, and so it is very important to have all containers at the street by 7 am. We appreciate your cooperation.

Please remove all containers from the street as soon as possible after collection.


Container Placement at the Street


Place carts:

  • Three (3) feet apart
  • At least three (3) feet from cars, trees, mailboxes, fences
  • Cart wheels as close to the curb as possible
  • Cart lids opening toward street

    When possible, trucks with robotic arms will lift, empty and replace the carts without the drivers leaving the trucks, reducing safety hazards and traffic congestion.


    • Weight Limit 35 Pounds


    (Overweight containers will not be emptied)
    • Cans, bins, bundles and carts up to 32-gallon size are lifted and emptied by hand. For your safety and the safety of your collectors, please limit each 32-gallon unit to no more than 35 pounds.
    • Larger carts are lifted mechanically, and are limited to 180 pounds.
