Garbage, Recycling & Organics

Comment Form

Olympia’s approach to waste management includes providing curbside garbage, recycling and organics.  We also strive to encourage waste reduction through educational programs. 

Working toward Zero Waste:

In June 2006, the Olympia City Council adopted a Zero Waste Resolution.  It establishes a vision for the City and a new direction for the utility. On November 26, 2007, Council adopted the Zero Waste Plan.
