About the Solid Waste Division
The King County Solid Waste Division (SWD) provides garbage transfer, disposal, and recycling services for approximately 1.9 million people. We serve all of King County, except the cities of Seattle and Milton. Our work is guided by King County’s 2019 Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, which enables us to manage waste locally at the lowest cost and with the least environmental impact.
