Residential yard/food is picked up on the opposite weeks of garbage and recycling. There is no extra charge to receive bi-weekly collection of up to two 90-gallon brown yard/food waste containers. A third yard/food container is available for $3/month.

Residential customers may also take yard waste directly to the Tacoma Recovery & Transfer Center.

Commercial customers are now able to take advantage of the food and yard waste program. This program helps businesses and multi-family dwellings of three or more units become more sustainable by reducing the waste we send to the landfill and processing organic materials into compost and TAGRO, nutrient-rich soil amendments. For more information, visit our Commercial Food Waste page.

We offer various services levels. Call us at (253) 502-2100 for a solid waste service representative to help you decide on the best option.
