So, the City’s been talking about improvements to their recycling program that start at the end of March. Great for them, but what about those of us with a different service provider? Here’s the info on how Impact Property Services’ Solid Waste Division is handling the change:

It is with great pleasure to announce Impact Property Services customers will receive the same service in SPU’s “Curb Waste” brochure. This month customers that do not have yard waste service will receive a letter from Impact Property Services explaining the new organic and yard waste.

New Curbside organics collection:
Customers will return the bottom portion of the letter (paid postage response) announcing their selection from a 13 gallon, 35 gallon, or 95 gallon cart, or they can opt out and compost food and yard waste at their home. If a customer does not reply they will be contacted by an IPS service representative or will automatically receive a 13 gallon cart. However, residents that opt out and rather compost on site, they will be contacted by a city inspector to confirm their home composting exemption.

The Cost for the yard waste / organic carts:

  • 13 gallon = $3.60 per month
  • 35 gallon = $5.40 per month
  • 96 gallon = $6.90 per month
  • Additional cans, bags, and bundles of yard waste will be charged $2.95 per unit.

Other Collection Services:
Impact Property Service has been proud to offer our customers for years the opportunity to dispose of old televisions, motor oil and appliances. If an Impact Property Service customer requires a special collection they would need to call (206) 716-1310 extension #10.

A friendly customer service agent will assist you with all services and pricing will be explained to you over the phone. All items will need to be outside your home and at the curb for collection, on a scheduled day. After you have a scheduled day for collection a professional driver will arrive and remove the unwanted items, and a follow up call to ensure 100% satisfaction.

We are happy to announce that we have improved our communication with our customers through our new website at http://www.impactpropertyservices.org/solidwaste. There you will find up to date customer information, pay with credit card information.

Impact Property Services Solid Waste Division is committed to, waste reduction, recycling and composting, and fast effective service, as it is our goal to provide complete customer satisfaction.
