The City of Tukwila is organizing a free yard waste collection event for its residents on November 9, 2024, from 8:00 a. m. to noon at the Tukwila Community Center. This initiative allows residents to dispose of yard waste responsibly, with each household permitted one vehicle or truckload of accepted materials. Items that can be dropped off include leaves, weeds, grass clippings, and branches no larger than 3 inches in diameter and 3 feet in length.

Conversely, large branches, sod, dirt, and other specific debris will not be accepted, promoting a clear guideline for participants. Residents are encouraged to explore Recology’s curbside compost collection service for ongoing yard waste management, highlighting the city’s commitment to sustainable practices. The event's organization is supported by the King County Solid Waste Division, emphasizing its community impact. By participating, residents can contribute to cleaner neighborhoods and sustainable waste management. This event not only fosters community engagement but also promotes environmental stewardship among Tukwila residents.
