Furniture Amnesty Day at New Location

Furniture Amnesty Day is Sunday, April 29th from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. This ONE-DAY ONLY event is held at the North Mason Fiber Company at 431 NE Log Yard Road two miles past the Bremerton National Airport. See the link below for driving directions.

Residential customers may bring the following unusable furniture to North Mason Fiber Company for FREE disposal during this event:

  • Bookcases
  • Tables / Chairs
  • Desks
  • Patio Furniture
  • Mattresses
  • File Cabinets
  • Entertainment Centers
  • Sofas
  • Sleeper sofas
  • Beds
  • Dressers
  • Baby Furniture
   
Garbage, electronics (computer monitors, TV's etc), appliances, and household hazardous waste will not be accepted at this event.  All loads are pre-screened on site.

“This program helps Kitsap County residents get rid of large household items that fill their basements, porches, and garages.” said Dave Peters, Kitsap County Solid Waste Recycling Coordinator. Peters adds that another program goal is to reduces the number of items illegally dumped along roadways.

Residents should be sure the items they bring for disposal are not in good enough condition for reuse by local charities. The Solid Waste Division homepage at www.kitsapgov.com/sw has a complete list of locations to donate good, usable items. Furniture that is too good to toss can also be listed on the www.2good2toss.com website, sponsored by the WA State Department of Ecology and other Washington counties. Residents can list items at no cost. All items listed must sell for $99 or less. Many items are free!

Driving with an unsecured load in your vehicle is a violation of Washington state law. Fines range from a $194 traffic violation to $5000 fine and jail time if something falling out of your vehicle causes bodily harm.

Secure your load with a tarp, cargo net, ropes, chains, straps and/or bungee cords. Tie larger items directly to your vehicle or trailer. If any light weight or loose material can fly out of the moving vehicle, cover the load with a tarp.

This event is a cooperative effort hosted by Kitsap County Public Works and North Mason Fiber Company.
