Residential Waste Collection is provided by Basin Disposal, Inc., Basin Disposal of Yakima, LLC., Basin Disposal of Walla Walla, and Ed’s Disposal Inc. Waste collection is available to all single-family residences and multi-family units in our service area. Collection service is provided weekly. Single family residence means a one unit house, each living unit of a duplex, if billed individually, and mobile homes that are billed for collection service individually and located on a public street or private road, and not part of a Mobile Home Park.
- Please set out your garbage containers in a visible location the night before your regular collection day, or by no later than 5:00AM on your collection day. As our area grows, collection times in your neighborhood may change.
- Do not place your cart next to any objects (car, fence, mailbox, etc.) that may impede access to your containers.
- The handles of the cart must be pointed away from the street in order for our automated equipment to empty the cart.
- Any extras that you might have need to be place FIRST in the cart. If once the cart is full, place them at least 3 feet away from the cart.
- All items must be bag, boxed, or bundled to the following dimensions 5′ x 2′ x 2′, and not to exceed 65 pounds.
- Grass clippings are to be placed in bags so that they don’t blow around during the emptying of the can or stick to the can
- Half empty cans are caused by items getting stuck in the middle of the can when the can is squeezed by the mechanical arm. Please be sure to break down all boxes and put yard-waste and cardboard into the can last to avoid this issue
