Extra Yard Debris Collection in Des Moines

Residential customers whose last yard waste collection was missed due to winter weather may set out all correctly prepared yard debris generated by the recent storm on their next two regularly scheduled collection days. It will be collected at no additional charge. 

Extra yard debris should be placed in large paper bags or garbage cans labeled “Yard Debris”. Bundles of branches should be no bigger than 2 feet by 2 feet by 4 feet (2’x2’x4’) and should be tied together with compostable string or twine. Branches or tree trunks larger than 4 inches in diameter or 4 feet in length cannot be collected.

Customers may also take yard debris generated by the storm to one of four King County collection events on designated days – free disposal will be available for King County residents on Feb. 4-5 at four locations:

• Russell Road Park in Kent, 24400 Russell Road, Kent
• Shoreline Transfer Station
• Enumclaw Transfer Station
• Cedar Falls Transfer Station
