Recycle
Recycling is a mandatory fee regardless of use or non use for our residential customers only. Each residence may leave out extra recycling each week so long as it is in an acceptable container for Waste Management to pick up. Please contact them directly with any questions regarding that container. You may also have multiple recycling totes; however, there will be added fees for any extra totes.

If an owner obtains a demolition permit from our Building Department to demolish the home, this is the only time that the fee will be removed. Owner must obtain the permit in order to start this process. To obtain more knowledge about this, please contact Utility Billing at 360.293.1909.
Refuse/Garbage
Customers in need of a missed garbage pickup or change in service size please contact: 360.293.1921.
Garbage is also a mandatory fee regardless of use or non use for our residential customers only. If you have extra garbage that will easily fit into a 32 gallon container you may purchase our "Blue City Garbage Bags". These are available for purchase at City Hall as well as many locations within the City of Anacortes (Safeway, Ace, Sebos, The Market). You purchase the bag, fill it, and leave out with your regular garbage on your given service day.
