Garbage to be picked up Monday

I've never been so excited to have my garbage picked up.   This from the Seattle PI:PC240002

"People who have service Monday through Wednesday should put their garbage out on their normal days next week. However, no garbage will be collected on Thursday, New Year's Day.

Customers will not be charged extra if they set out extra amounts of garbage, the utility said."

From Waste Management's website:

* Weather-Delayed Curbside Collection Standard Procedures:


Twice Regular Amount Accepted Next Regular Collection Day For Each Container
in Most WM Service Areas **

If weather conditions prevent collection of curbside garbage or recycling, please remove the containers from the street.

  • Up to twice the regular amount of garbage and/or yard waste will be accepted at no additional charge on the next regularly scheduled collection day for each container ** unless otherwise specified at www.wmnorthwest.com or by special notification.
  • There is no limit on the amount of clean recyclables accepted for collection.

    **Every Other Week Recycling & Yard Waste Collected Two (2) weeks after Missed Collection:

    If recycling or yard waste is regularly collected every other week, the missed material will be collected on the next scheduled day for that container (two weeks from the missed collection), unless residents are otherwise notified by telephone or on this site.

Link to Seattle Public Utilities to determine which is due this Monday: recycling or yard waste (I've lost track and may just bring everything out to the curb).
