Garbage and Recycling

Trash will be collected Monday through Thursday, except in holiday weeks where each collection day will be one day later than normal and Friday will be used to make up for the holiday.

There are six major holidays that will impact your service:

• New Years Day
• Memorial Day
• Fourth of July
• Labor Day
• Thanksgiving
• Christmas

The yearly schedules are printed on the back of each bill.

The City has been divided into 4 quadrants corresponding to the 4 collection days. Your trash should be set out for collection the night before your collection day and all cans should be returned to your home the evening after they were emptied. Collections will be made between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. on your designated collection day.

Use the City Trash Route Map (JPG) to find your trash collection day.

For Buy the Bag service, residents may purchase the specially designated bags at the Kent Finance Office located at 930 Overholt Road, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The bags are sold in lots of 10 at a price of $3.15 per bag.

You must confirm this level of service with Republic Services.
