Sort holiday waste

Bringing holiday waste to a facility?

Please note that we are asking people to sort their holiday waste before they arrive in order to decrease harmful contamination in the recycling containers.

Download and print the Holiday Recycle Guide (PDF) to help you and your family sort holiday waste correctly.

Recycling questions? Use our What Do I Do With It? search or email solidwaste@co.kitsap.wa.us. We are here to help.

 

This holiday season, Recycling and Garbage Facilities may have signs on the recycling containers that say, "No gift wrap, see attendant for more info." If you're sure you've sorted your gift wrap according to the Holiday Recycle Guide, you don't need to see the attendant.

Busy holiday weekend and scrap metal restrictions

Holiday weekends are among the busiest times at our waste and recycling facilities. Expect longer than normal wait times. The heaviest traffic is typically between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Due to our scrap metal hauler's holiday schedule, we may unexpectedly close the scrap metal containers at Olympic View Transfer Station and Silverdale Recycling and Garbage Facility in the days before or after a holiday.

If the containers are closed when you arrive, please do not leave your scrap metal on the ground. Pay for disposal, wait until another day, or take it to a private scrap metal recycler instead.
