Hey Neighbors!
We've got a quick citywide up date we wanted to share for you single-family households in the neighborhood.
Starting in early 2025, all single-family homes in Bellingham will begin receiving organic waste collection as part of their standard waste service. Single-family residential customers of Sanitary Service Company (SSC) living in buildings with four units or less will receive the FoodPlus! organic waste management service. This service comes with a monthly fee, but there are options to manage and potentially reduce costs. Customers already receiving this service year-round will not be affected by the change. The new service will be rolled out one neighborhood at a time, and customers will be notified by SSC before their service begins. Residents of the King Mountain neighborhood have not yet been informed of our neighborhood's roll-out date.Â
The yellow-lidded FoodPlus! bins are 60 gallons and picked up every other week. Residents can place food scraps, food-soiled papers, yard waste and approved compostable packaging in their bins. Downloadable waste sorting guides are available with more information about what can be added to the bins.

Thanks for reading!
We'll be in touch again soon.
