Free Extra Yard Waste Collection During November

This November, Seattle Public Utilities is again providing FREE extra yard waste collection for household customers, up to 10 extra bags for every collection throughout the month. Simply set out your extra yard waste next to your food and yard waste cart on your collection day.

Extra yard waste must be contained either in kraft paper bags or placed in an extra container that is clearly marked to indicate it contains extra yard waste. Please make sure your extra yard waste collection bags or container only contain yard waste, not food waste. Fallen branches and twigs can be set out for extra collection as well. These can be tied into bundles up to 4 feet long by 2 feet in diameter and tied with fiber twine. Do not use wire, nylon cording, or plastic banding. Learn more about setting out extra yard waste.

New Rules About Trees in Seattle

In a move to preserve and increase Seattle’s tree canopy (good for the environment, health and quality of urban life), there are some new rules passed in Council Bill 120207 that went into effect.

Property Owner Requirements

Starting November 11, property owners must hire a registered tree service provider to complete most tree work on their property. You will be able to view the list of registered providers on the SDCI Trees & Codes webpage in October.
Starting November 11, property owners must post a public notice of major pruning or removal of trees on the property. The notice must be posted at least three days before a tree service provider starts the work. To create the public notice, complete the “Public Notice” form which will be available on the Seattle Services Portal beginning in October.
Property owners completing routine pruning and tree maintenance are not required to register or post a notice.

The bill requires tree service providers to register with the City of Seattle before conducting commercial tree work and consultations on private property. The list will be on the Trees & Codes webpage.

SDCI will host an informational webinar in September to help us understand registration requirements, property owner responsibilities, and Seattle tree codes. Check the Trees & Codes website for up-to-date information.

Transit – Kids Ride Free

Beginning September 1, riders 18 and younger can ride for free on many transit systems across Washington, thanks to millions in funding included in the Move Ahead Washington transportation package approved by lawmakers earlier this year.

Riders 18 and younger can take free rides via Sound Transit, King County Metro, King County Water Taxi, Seattle Streetcar, Pierce Transit, Community Transit, Snoqualmie Valley Transit, Kitsap Transit and Kitsap Ferries. Everett Transit began zero youth fares in July, and Washington State Ferries will join suit in October.
