The City of Anacortes now contracts with Waste Management for both organics (yard waste and food scraps) and recycling service for our residential customers. The City of Anacortes Solid Waste Division will continue to provide refuse service in the City of Anacortes. Organics is an optional service, with weekly pickup offered year-round. If you choose to have organics service, charges will appear on your monthly City of Anacortes utility statement. If you are already signed up for organics/yard waste pickup, you will no longer receive a separate bill from Waste Management.
Please go online at http://wmnorthwest. com/anacortes/service.html#recycling to request new organics service, stop existing organics service, or to request extra pickups of organics. You can also call Waste Management at 1-800-592-9995. Recycling service is now provided by Waste Management and billed to your City of Anacortes utility account. Recycling is a mandatory fee of $9.00 for residential and multi-dwelling customers. You can change the size of your recycling tote or request an additional tote by contacting Waste Management online at http:// wmnorthwest.com/anacortes/service. html#recycling or call 1-800-592-9995.
