Pasco, WA Trash & Recycling: Pickup Rules & Schedules (2026)

210, Schedule of collections, sets a floor rather than a fixed calendar: residential solid waste must be collected at least once each week, food establishments must deposit waste in appropriate containers for collection at least once each day they operate, excluding Sundays and holidays, and commercial establishments must have waste collected at least once a week, though the City or its collector can arrange more frequent special schedules with the owner or occupant. 200: residential material goes to the street curb or an alley as designated by the City or collector, while industrial and commercial pickups happen at service entrances on alleys or service roads unless a special agreement sets another point.

Contractor-furnished automated containers follow the same points-of-collection rule, at the edge of the street curb, or the roadway shoulder on noncurb streets, or at the edge of the alley, with an additional charge allowed if a can is kept inaccessible behind locked doors or requires extra time to retrieve. Together these two sections fix both how often and where Pasco's contracted hauler must show up for residential, food-service, and commercial customers.
