Customers are billed bi-monthly. Rates do not include applicable taxes and fees. Garbage service is mandatory in Kirkland.
A City of Kirkland utility tax of 10.5 percent is added to all solid waste service fees and is listed separately on your bi-monthly utility bill. KMC 5.08.050
King County Board of Health requires hazardous waste fees from every solid waste account (Code of the King County Board of Health 2.08.090, RCW 70.05.060 and RCW 70.105.220). A monthly hazardous waste fee of $1.04 is included on the utility bill and remitted to King County.
Included Curbside Services
Additional items available for collection next to your cart include:
Charges for Extra Material
Extra recycling is free. Extra garbage and yard waste that won't fit inside your cart with the lid completely closed are subject to a charge. That means you could be charged for an extra if your cart is overflowing and the lid is not closed. Extra material is charged by unit, based on volume. Charges are subject to tax.
