Waste Tire Event: Kitsap County cannot schedule a 2024 tire collection event due to WA Dept. of Ecology budget constraints. We will schedule this event if Ecology funding becomes available at a later date. For low cost tire disposal, check with a local tire shop. Leave your old tires behind when you get new tires from a shop.

Secure Your Load for Safer Roads 

Unsecured loads cause over 300 crashes in Washington every year and cause up to 40% of roadside litter. Let's change that. Use cargo straps to secure items directly to your vehicle and use a cover to prevent litter. Secure your load every time, no matter how short the distance or size of your load.

June 24th - Household Chemicals Event

Kitsap County Solid Waste Division, in collaboration with the City of Poulsbo, managed a household hazardous waste collection event at the City of Poulsbo’s public works facility on Viking Avenue on Saturday, June 24th. The county’s vendors collected approximately 22,500 pounds of flammable, corrosive, reactive and/or toxic materials from 233 residents of Poulsbo and surrounding communities.


These events have been held annually or biennially in North Kitsap or Bainbridge Island since 2001.  They supplement the permanent household hazardous waste facility in Bremerton, which is available to all Kitsap County residents.  The one-day events will be replaced by a permanent facility located just outside Poulsbo.  That facility is scheduled for completion in 2025.


June 10th – Tire and Scrap Metal Event


FunThe Solid Waste Division's Clean Kitsap Program held a Tire and Scrap Metal Collection event for households on June 10th at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds Thunderbird Arena. The event was funded by Washington Dept. of Ecology. Households were invited to bring up to 15 passenger tires and a variety of non-hazardous scrap metal items for free disposal. We collected 71.79 tons of tires and 11.35 tons of scrap metal from 532 customers. This is an increase from 2022, where we collected 60 tons of tires and 5.15 tons of metal from 406 customers.
