Organic waste collection coming to all Bellingham single-family households in 2025
Starting in early 2025, all single-family homes in Bellingham will begin receiving organic waste collection as part of their standard waste service. Adding this service allows Bellingham to reduce waste, lower climate emissions and meet future statewide requirements. Through this service, organic waste such as food scraps, food-soiled papers, yard waste and approved compostable packaging is collected by Sanitary Service Company (SSC) and composted locally into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Customers already receiving this service year-round will not be affected by the change.
