Trash
Trash days are Mondays, unless if they didn't get to it (because of holidays, inclement weather, etc.), in which case it becomes Friday anecdotally.
Within the space, we have trash cans located in the Hub, the Sun Room, and the kitchen. The ones in the Hub tends to require judicious emptying since they fill up faster.
The trash bins (both labeled 4534 1/2) have a way of shifting in the alley and often show up far away from the back of our building. If they disappear, see if they are behind other buildings.
AirTags
After our garbage bin disappearing for two months in April 2025, AirTags have now been placed in them. They are tied to User:Maia's Apple ID and can be shared with anyone on request. You are welcome and encouraged to deploy your competing thing-tracking tag solution.
For the recycling bin the AirTag is inside, under the lid near where it's attached. For the trash bin the AirTag is on the outside, in a space near the front under the lid:
Billing
As of 2025, we pay ~$140 for Recology King County for a tiny ass trash bin (32gal) and recycling (32gal).
Please try to place the trash/recycling in the bins and do not just leave them in the alley! Realistically trash often runs us about $100-$120 month because of trash placed outside of bins (not always our fault; sometimes people just litter in the alleys), which trigger a special collection fee. This applies too to recycling, which is different for businesses (this is unlike setting out residential recycling in Seattle, which is free).
