A rising tide of trash forcing another closure of county facilities
EVERETT — Snohomish County is closing its garbage drop boxes and transfer stations again so crews can catch up and clear out trash.
It’s going to happen this Sunday. And again next Sunday, Sept. 25. Back in May, the county closed the sites for one weekend.
“These two Sunday closures will allow our crews to relieve the system stress by clearing some of the backlog that is building up,” said Solid Waste Director Dave Schonhard in a statement. “By closing on two Sundays, we hope to minimize the impact on commercial curbside pickup for county residents.”
Also, starting Wednesday, Snohomish County will stop accepting yard debris at all its facilities. This ban will be in effect indefinitely. The county did not take this action in May.
