Hello, Cedar Ridge Estates community members! This guide summarizes WM's Skagit County service information. Confirm the service area shown on your account: a Mount Vernon mailing address does not by itself establish city collection service, and the city has a different schedule.
Understanding Your Collection Schedule
WM's Skagit County service lists weekly garbage collection and every-other-week recycling for subscribers. The exact collection day depends on your address; check your collection calendar or account rather than relying on a neighborhood estimate of Wednesday at 8:00 AM. Collection times can change.
Garbage Disposal 101
Choose a garbage-cart size that fits your household and service plan. Keep the lid closed. WM's Skagit County guidance allows extra bags or containers for an additional charge, subject to size and weight limits; check the garbage guidelines before setting out extras.
Recycling: Doing Your Bit for the Planet
In WM's Skagit County service area, recycling is a subscription service with a separate charge, and single-stream collection is not available at every address. Put accepted recyclables in the cart clean, empty and loose. Confirm the rules for your specific route, including glass, using WM's recycling guidance rather than assuming a separate glass bin is required.
Keeping Your Yard Debris-Free
WM offers yard and food-waste collection to subscribers in eligible parts of Skagit County. Confirm availability and accepted materials for your address before using the service. See WM's yard and food-waste guidelines.
Handling Special Waste
For bulky items such as furniture and appliances, ask WM about special collection and any fees. Do not assume that hazardous waste or electronics can use the same pickup service. Check Skagit County's disposal guidance for appropriate facilities and accepted materials.
Navigating Holiday Collections
WM's Skagit County schedule observes three holidays: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. When one falls on a weekday, collection on that day and the rest of that week is delayed one day. Other holidays do not change this WM county schedule. Check the current holiday information and your account for service alerts; Mount Vernon city schedules differ.
For WM Skagit County service, place containers at the street by 6:00 AM. Keep carts at least 3 feet apart and at least 3 feet from cars, trees, mailboxes and fences, with lids opening toward the street. Follow any address-specific instructions from your provider.
