Submitted by the Town of Friday Harbor

The Town of Friday Harbor will offer its residential refuse customers a one-time-only curbside pickup of items that are too large or heavy for trash cans the week of May 15-19.

“The town saw an opportunity to encourage neighborhood cleanups and to assist our customers with their spring cleaning efforts,” said Town Administrator Duncan Wilson. He added that this one-time service is being offered free of charge to its non-commercial customers.

Customers can review the rules on the volume and accepted types of trash, which is included in their monthly billing statement. They may also find information at www.fridayharbor.org, under “What’s New,” or call town hall at 378-2810.

The town reserves the right to deny pickup of items. These unaccepted items must be removed by the customer within two days of their refuse pickup day. Unremoved items and anything left in front of empty homes will be investigated by code enforcement as illegal dumping. This service is solely to assist existing town refuse customers and no items may be brought to or left in town.

Regular refuse and recycling will be picked up separately that week as usual. Customers are to set these cans apart from their large refuse pickup pile.
