Free waste drop-off days: 
  • Thursday July 17, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm 
  • Friday July 18, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm 

Lake Forest Park and Kenmore residents can drop off garbage, compostables, and recycling at the LFP City Hall parking lot 17425 Ballinger Way NE, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155 from 9:00am to 3:00pm Thursday and Friday July 17-18, 2025.

Have your material in bags. Republic Services will be on site to assist.

Ha. Better idea: take your garbage and recyclables (you know, the things you paid to have them collect) and drop them off at the doorstep of Republic Services' offices with a nice note telling them that you support the Teamsters' request for a fair contract. There will be a parking space for the CEO right next to the front door to the office and I'm sure they will be glad to help you get what you pay for if you leave it there.

I like this blog. But please stop posting company propaganda about how to subvert a strike by workers standing on their collective bargaining rights. Union proud.

Someone stuffed the garbage can at Animal Acres Park with a full black garbage bag. Not cool. They apparently removed the lid to do this since the bag wouldn’t have made it through the small opening that one is supposed to use. City ought to lock that lid so that can’t happen.

It would be really nice if drop offs were scheduled after work hours. I can’t take off in the middle of the day to drive an hour home to drop garbage. Or give us free drop off at the dump on the weekend.

Next time consider WM for your service provider. WM is a great company.

Will the city be doing this weekly until the strike ends? Or can we still take our stuff to the transfer station on Meridian? We’re on septic and our compost adds up quickly and fragrantly.
