Litter Wranglers Program

The Litter Wranglers program is Snohomish County’s response to residents’ concerns about litter issues. The crew responds to resident calls and emails by working the roadsides and collecting the trash in areas with excessive litter.

The Litter Wranglers also allow other county employees to stay focused on maintaining and repairing Snohomish County’s vital infrastructure. This program helps to fulfill the county’s goal of ridding the areas of unsightly trash.

The crew collected more than 6,000 bags of litter and cleaned more than 800 road miles during the 2019 season. The Litter Wranglers were not fielded during 2020 due to the health crisis but are expected to return for the 2021 season from April through October.

With notification from residents of locations with excessive litter, the Litter Wranglers can group site visits and be more effective and efficient. The Litter Wranglers will visit as many areas as possible during the summer and rotate through quadrants of Snohomish County. The crew anticipates being able to respond to specific areas within a week of receiving a report. To report a location in unincorporated Snohomish County, please:
