Info COVID-19 Since the coronavirus can survive for a certain period of time on different surfaces, taking out your bins one day in advance could reduce the risk of spreading the virus to employees who provide the collection service. We therefore recommend that recycling bins be placed at the curb as of 6 p.m. the day before recycling day.
In Kirkland, the collection of recyclable materials takes place once a week on Fridays, starting at 7:00 am. The recycling wheeled bin must be placed at the curb after 6 p.m. Thursday evening or before 7:00 am Friday morning and put away before the end of the day on Friday.
Your wheeled bin is the property of the Town of Kirkland and must remain on the premises when you move. The collection of recyclable materials requires that the wheeled bin be properly positioned, by respecting the rules set out in the User Guide. Also, please ensure that the bin is placed on your property and not on the street, so it does not obstruct the street sweeper or the snow plows. Otherwise, the streets cannot be cleaned properly.
