Some cities and tribes host clean-up events or services. Contact your city or tribe directly to inquire. Proof of residence is usually required.

Events and services include the City of Bremerton Beautify Bremerton yard waste event, City of Port Orchard Spring and Fall Clean Ups, and City of Poulsbo Residential Cleanup Dumpster service.

Paper Shred Events

Shredded paper is too small to go in your recycling bin, but you can recycle it at a paper shred event or kiosk. Check the LeMay Community Shred Event schedule, ask your local bank about scheduled shred events, or learn about year-round paper shredding options.
