Didn’t get your recycling picked up this week?

Seattle Public Utilities is still catching up from weather-affected collections missed last week, and has just acknowledged the missed-recycling situation, which some WSB commenters brought up:

Recycling may have been missed for Wednesday customers this week.

Please report it as a missed collection by calling it in to customer service line as we are aware online reporting is having issues.

As a reminder to all, if your collections were missed, please report it!

You can do that online here.

    Since most of the folks that live on 18th Ave SW did not get their Recycling picked up last week, because of the snow or yesterday because it is the off week you may want to call and report.  I did this and my recycling should be picked up by tomorrow.  If you call this should alleviate paper and boxes from being blown around the neighborhood.

    They missed last week, but technically this week wasn’t a recycling pickup for my area.  Their messaging was confusing on if they were going to still pick up recycling this week or not.  So I wasn’t sure if it should be reported.

    The online reporting of missed pick up is stating the reporting window is past, and won’t allow, and the phone option is down now as well.

      Try the main SPU number? I’ll ask the media team too.

        i did just call, speak to a rep, and they claimed they’d be able to pick it up by tomorrow. i’d just others seeing this error call in as well.

      I’m seeing the same error as well.

    I called the main number and arranged a pickup for tomorrow. They were super helpful.

    They get to miss collection and I have a deadline (that passed less than 24hrs) to report missed service? This is wild. Make it make sense.

    Good Evening. We live in White Center and are served by Waste Management.  We didn’t get our recycle picked up last week either so left it out today. It was not picked up. Has anyone heard if WM is planning to make Thursday pickups on this Friday. Our compost and garbage were picked up.

Sorry, comment time is over.
