Plastic Bags
In 2012, the Issaquah City Council adopted a law that bans single-use, plastic carryout bags at retail stores. The plastic bag ban took effect in March 2013 and followed a phased approach. View the City of Issaquah ordinance and view our plastic bag ban flyer (PDF) for more information.
Food Service Packaging
In 2009, the Issaquah City Council adopted a law requiring food service businesses (including restaurants, grocers, coffee shops and other food sellers) to only use recyclable or compostable food service containers and service ware, and provide compost and recycling collection for customers. Foods that are pre-packaged before they are received by a business are not included in this law. View the City of Issaquah city ordinance and view and download an informational flyer (PDF).
Wildlife Resistant Carts
Recology offers two types of wildlife-resistant carts. Both types are designed to resist bears and other wildlife, but neither is “bear-proof.” Removing temptation is the best way to keep bears and other animals away. Put your cart out on the morning of service, not the night before, and store it inside so that animals cannot get to it.
To request a wildlife-resistant cart:
- Call Recology at 425-837-1234 or email
Visit the Recology website for more information.
