Utility Billing - Refuse

 
You must provide your own refuse can(s). The City of Anacortes will provide you with a decal for each can to show the sanitation crew that you have service. Please follow these instructions for placing this decal on your garbage can. Your garbage can will not be emptied if the decal is not placed visibly on the can.
  • Clean off a spot large enough for the decal before placing it on the can – if can is dirty, wet, or oily, decal may not stick
  • On some plastic cans, you may need to “rough up” the spot with sandpaper to assure the decal sticks
  • Place the decal approximately 4” from the top of the can and between the handles – press firmly, especially around decal edges

Please note: If you change the size or number of refuse cans you use, you will need to contact the City of Anacortes and obtain new service decals.
