Washington County and Swatco do not plan on distributing paper collection calendars in 2024. As many people now have the 'Garbage and Recycling day' app, most of the paper calendars are only contributing to additional waste. If you don't have the Garbage and Recycling day app, please down load it to your device. You can also find your collection schedule by clicking the link, there you can download or print the calendar. As always, please have all containers at the road for collection by 6 am. Click link below for the calendar link and app information for recycling pickup days.

SPECIAL NOTE ON PRIVATE BRIDGES: In the past Swatco has had one private bridge partially collapse and another completely collapse when our equipment, at bridge owners request, has used private bridges. Therefore, Swatco will not cross a private bridge with our equipment unless the owner provides proper documentation from a licensed Professional Engineer of the bridges load rating with the document also including an expiration date on when the document needs to be renewed.
