Yard Waste/Clean Wood Collection Currently Suspended

Due to continuing rail service and container availability issues, resulting in the contamination of yard/ wood debris with garbage, we are suspending the acceptance of yard/ wood debris at County facilities until further notice. Please note we will continue to evaluate program options, but at this time do not have a definitive timeline as to when or if we will accept the material. Please continue to utilize alternate locations for composting and beneficial use of green waste. A list of those local businesses can be found by visiting www.snohomishcountywa.gov/6165/Yard-Clean-Wood-Debris. 

Thank you for helping us divert yard and wood waste from the landfill.
