Pasco Trash Pickup Schedule 2026: Find Your Day, Save Money & Avoid a Missed Pickup
Pasco residential garbage is collected by Basin Disposal, Inc. (BDI). Residential service is weekly, but the exact pickup weekday depends on the service address. Use the official Pasco route map below—not a ZIP-code guess.
Enter your ZIP code below — we'll take you straight to your city's official schedule. No searching, no confusion.
This page also covers local benefits that generic trash guides miss: qualifying extra garbage inside Pasco city limits can be collected without an additional pickup charge, Pasco’s current resident material says residents receive two annual free-disposal coupons, and qualifying seniors can apply for a reduced garbage rate.
Pasco Garbage Schedule 2026 — 30-Second Answer
Garbage frequency: weekly for BDI residential service.
Exact day: find your service address on the official Pasco garbage/recycling route map. Nearby streets can have a different route, so do not rely on ZIP code alone.
Set-out: put the cart where it is visible the night before or no later than 5:00 AM. BDI says route times can change, and its FAQ describes collection as potentially occurring from about 5 AM to 5 PM.
Automated cart: point the handles away from the street and keep cars, fences, mailboxes and other obstacles at least about 3 ft away.
Provider: Basin Disposal, 509-547-2476, 2021 N Commercial Ave, Pasco, WA 99301.

How to Find Your Exact Pasco Garbage Day
Your useful answer is an address-level collection weekday—not a generic “Pasco pickup is weekly” statement.
- Open the official Pasco garbage/recycling map. Use the ArcGIS application linked immediately below.
- Locate the exact service property. Search or zoom to the home rather than relying on the general ZIP code.
- Use the garbage route information. If multiple layers or a legend are visible, identify the garbage route before checking recycling.
- Select the route containing the property. Record the weekday shown for the address.
- Check recycling separately. Do not automatically assume a neighborhood recycling drop site or route is the same as the garbage service.
- Save the day in your phone. Example: “BDI garbage — Tuesday — cart out Monday night.”
- Set a night-before reminder. BDI says the cart should be visible the night before or no later than 5 AM.
- Check holiday/weather conditions when relevant. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day have different rules from Labor Day.

Two Pasco Free-Disposal Coupons — What Is Current and What Is Not
The City of Pasco continues to surface its Good Neighbor Handbook for residents. That document states: Basin Disposal supplies Pasco residents with two annual “free disposal” coupons.
Why This Page Does Not Promise “500 lb per Coupon”
An older archived City item described two coupons worth up to 500 lb each. That source is substantially older than the current 2026 service period, while the current handbook text does not state that weight.
Instead of sending you to the transfer station with an unverified load, this guide tells you to verify the current limit before travel.
Ask BDI These Exact Questions
- What is the current 2026 weight/load allowance per coupon?
- Which materials are excluded?
- Are tires included?
- Are mattresses included?
- Are refrigerators/freezers included?
- Is a refrigerant evacuation fee separate?
- What account ID or proof of residency is required?
- Where are the current coupons obtained?
- Where exactly are they redeemed?
Pasco Garbage Cart Set-Out — Exact BDI Rules
When
Put the cart in a visible collection location the night before or no later than 5:00 AM on collection day.
Direction
For automated collection, handles point away from the street.
Clearance
Keep vehicles, fences, mailboxes, extra bags and similar obstacles at least about 3 ft away.
Prevent a Half-Empty Cart
BDI warns that material can wedge inside the cart and fail to fall out. Break down bulky cardboard, avoid tightly jamming material against the cart walls and prepare loose yard material so it does not stick.
Extra Garbage in Pasco — No Added Pickup Charge When You Follow the Rules
This is a major local benefit. BDI’s current residential page states that qualifying additional garbage has no extra charge within city limits. County residents may be charged.
| Rule | Current requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Main cart first | Fill BDI cart before setting extras | Extra service is for overflow after normal capacity is used. |
| Preparation | Bagged, boxed or bundled | Loose debris can scatter and may not be safely collected. |
| Maximum weight | 65 lb per item | Overweight material can generate an additional charge. |
| Maximum dimensions | 2 ft × 2 ft × 4 ft | Larger items need another disposal method. |
| Distance from automated cart | At least about 3 ft | Keeps the mechanical arm clear. |
| Personal extra can | ≤32 gallons, 2 handles, ≤65 lb including container | Oversized/overweight personal cans may be charged. |
Pasco Trash Pickup Holiday Schedule 2026
Basin Disposal does not close residential routes for every common federal holiday. This provider-specific distinction prevents one of the most common low-quality schedule errors.
| Holiday | Date | BDI status | Resident impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Year’s Day | Thu, Jan. 1, 2026 | Observed | Thu → Fri Jan. 2; Fri → Sat Jan. 3. |
| Memorial Day | Mon, May 25 | Worked | Regular route unless BDI announces a separate disruption. |
| Independence Day | Sat, Jul. 4 | Worked holiday | No weekday shift created by the Saturday 2026 date. |
| Labor Day | Mon, Sep. 7 | Worked | Regular Monday route unless a separate notice is issued. |
| Thanksgiving | Thu, Nov. 26 | Observed | Thu → Fri Nov. 27; Fri → Sat Nov. 28. |
| Christmas Day | Fri, Dec. 25 | Observed | Friday collection → Saturday Dec. 26. |
| New Year’s Day 2027 | Fri, Jan. 1, 2027 | Observed | Friday → Saturday Jan. 2. |

Pasco Recycling Drop-Off — Seven Locations on BDI’s Current Page
BDI’s current recycling page lists the following Pasco neighborhood drop-off locations. Because school/church/property arrangements can change, confirm the location remains on BDI’s current page before hauling a large load.
Materials Clearly Listed on BDI’s Current Recycling Page
Newspaper
BDI says to bundle/tie it or place it in brown paper bags; newspaper advertising inserts can be included.
Aluminum / Steel Cans
Rinse and prepare cans under BDI’s current instructions.
Mixed Paper
BDI says common small items such as staples, paper clips, sticky notes and labels do not all need to be removed.
Cardboard
Break corrugated cardboard down and flatten it before recycling.
Pasco Recycling Site Map
Pasco Plastic Recycling — Important Current-Source Conflict
BDI’s current recycling webpage: publicly lists newspaper, aluminum/steel cans, mixed paper and cardboard.
BDI’s Summer 2025 recycling PDF: also described certain #1 and #2 plastic containers, generally using the narrow-neck rule.
Why this article does not simply say “plastic accepted”: the current webpage no longer lists that plastic category in its public accepted-material section.
What to do: if your trip is specifically for plastic, call 509-547-2476 before driving to a neighborhood drop site.
Pasco Grass, Leaves, Branches & Yard Waste
BDI’s current FAQ describes home-generated yard waste as part of its garbage service stream. Examples include grass, garden trimmings, weeds, branches and leaves.
Grass Clippings
Bag grass clippings so they do not blow around or pack tightly into the automated cart.
Tumbleweeds in Pasco — Collection Is the Better Current Option
The City of Pasco’s current FAQ says Basin Disposal will pick up tumbleweeds with regular garbage collection.
August 31, 2026: Do Not Rely on Normal Burn-Day Rules
The City’s Alert Center currently shows a statewide burn ban through September 30, 2026. Most outdoor burning is prohibited during the ban.
Use regular BDI collection or another approved disposal option rather than attempting to burn tumbleweeds while the ban is active.
When the Emergency Ban Is No Longer Active
Pasco’s current Burn Regulations page says only qualifying windblown tumbleweeds may be burned on designated burn days under the City’s restrictions.
- Do not burn garbage.
- Do not burn plastics.
- Do not burn cardboard.
- Do not burn treated wood.
- Do not burn construction/demolition debris.
- Do not burn growing tumbleweeds in place.
- Do not use a traditional burn barrel.
- Do not burn during an emergency burn ban.
Pasco Appliance & Large-Item Disposal
BDI’s current FAQ says appliances can be collected, but residents should call before placing the appliance outside so the company can arrange the appropriate truck.
- Call 509-547-2476.
- Tell the representative whether you have a washer, dryer, range, refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or another large appliance.
- Ask if curbside collection is appropriate.
- Ask whether the item requires a special truck.
- If the appliance contains refrigerant/Freon, ask for the current evacuation/service charge.
- Get the exact set-out instructions.
- Compare curbside service with BDI Transfer self-haul if convenient.
Pasco Special-Waste Directory — Batteries, Electronics, Paint, Lamps & Medicine
| Material | Best starting point | What the resident should know |
|---|---|---|
| Normal household garbage | BDI weekly cart | Use route + 5 AM set-out. |
| Unbroken vehicle / boat battery | BDI Transfer | BDI says these can be recycled at the transfer facility. |
| Lithium / small / damaged battery | HHW / appropriate battery take-back | Do not treat it as an intact automotive battery. |
| TV / computer / monitor / tablet | E-Cycle Washington | Covered electronics can be recycled free. |
| Architectural paint | PaintCare Washington | Eligible paint has no drop-off charge at participating sites. |
| Fluorescent / CFL / HID lamp | LightRecycle Washington | Use authorized mercury-lamp recycling. |
| Prescription / OTC household medication | WA Safe Medication Return | Free kiosk/mail-back options; do not flush or put in loose trash. |

- Open the BDI Pay Online page.

- Verify the customer/account information before paying.
- Save the confirmation.
BDI’s FAQ also lists automatic payment through checking account, debit card or credit card, plus other payment methods.
Moving in Pasco, Missing Cart or Windblown Container
Missing Cart
BDI provides a Missing Cart form. If the container disappeared after collection or during wind, use the form or call 509-547-2476.
Replacement fees may depend on circumstances.
Open Missing Cart FormMoving
BDI says its carts remain company property.
Do not take a BDI cart with you when moving unless Basin Disposal specifically tells you to do so.
At the new address, verify service and the route before assuming the old weekday follows you.
Missed Pasco Garbage Pickup — Full Troubleshooting Flow
- Verify the address route. Make sure today really is the service day.
- Verify set-out. Was the cart visible the night before or by 5 AM?
- Verify holiday status. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s behave differently from Labor Day.
- Check cart direction and clearance. Handles away from street; keep the collection area unobstructed.
- Check extra material placement. Extras should not block the automated cart.
- Check weather/access. Snow, ice, hills, alleys or blocked cul-de-sacs can make collection unsafe.
- Call BDI. Give the service address, day and material left behind.
Missed Pickup Resolver
Pasco Garbage Collection During Snow & Ice
BDI’s weather guidance focuses on whether a heavy collection vehicle can safely reach and maneuver around the collection point.
Snow Berm
Clear enough room for the automated arm to reach the cart safely.
Icy Hill
A collection truck may not safely climb, stop or turn on an icy grade.
Cul-de-Sac
Snowbanks and parked vehicles can eliminate the turning radius a large truck needs.
Alley
Unsafe icy alleys may be skipped. BDI’s FAQ discusses moving carts to an accessible maintained road when appropriate.
Pasco Apartments, Shared Dumpsters & Businesses
A multi-family property with collectively billed/shared containers is not the same as an individually billed residential cart.
Apartment Resident
Ask the property manager where garbage, cardboard and special items belong. Do not use the neighboring house’s route as proof of your dumpster schedule.
Property Manager
Call BDI at 509-547-2476 to confirm container type, frequency or a service problem.
New Development
BDI provides commercial/container planning guidance because truck approach, enclosure dimensions and turning space matter.
Report Illegal Dumping in Pasco
The City of Pasco’s current FAQ directs residents who see trash being dumped on undeveloped property or in someone else’s garbage container to the Pasco Police non-emergency dispatch line.
Illegal Dumping
Pasco Police non-emergency:
509-628-0333
Weeds / Tumbleweeds on Another Property
The City FAQ says residents can submit a Code Division complaint so the property can be inspected and the owner notified.
Code Division: 509-543-5743
Pasco Christmas Tree Disposal
BDI’s FAQ says natural Christmas trees can be handled curbside similarly to yard waste.
- Remove ornaments.
- Remove tinsel.
- Cut the tree into roughly 4-ft lengths.
- Bundle pieces when practical.
BDI also references a seasonal Pasco tree-recycling option associated with the golf course on Road 36.
Public PDF Audit — Information Generic Articles Usually Miss
Several useful Pasco details are buried in public PDFs rather than the main garbage landing pages. These documents were separated by age and purpose instead of blindly combining every number into one article.
City of Pasco Good Neighbor Handbook
Important waste details include the City’s statement that occupied Pasco homes are required to maintain garbage service and that Basin Disposal supplies residents with two annual “free disposal” coupons.
The handbook itself is an older document, although the City continues to surface it to residents. Therefore, old operational details are cross-checked against current 2026 provider pages.
Open Good Neighbor HandbookReduced Garbage Rate Application
The City PDF provides the practical eligibility declarations missing from a generic “senior discount available” sentence: age 62+, household payment responsibility, gross income disclosure, 90-day residence, primary-residence rule, income proof and notification of eligibility changes.
Open Reduced Garbage Rate PDFBDI Summer 2025 Recycling News
The older BDI flyer described certain #1/#2 narrow-neck plastic containers, while the current BDI recycling webpage no longer includes plastic in its public accepted-material list.
Instead of silently choosing the older list, this article tells residents to verify plastics directly before hauling them.
Open BDI 2025 Recycling PDFOfficial-Source Conflict Audit
1. Two free disposal coupons vs old 500-lb wording
Current City resident material supports the existence of two annual coupons. The 500-lb figure appears in an older City archive and is not repeated in the current handbook. Therefore, this article confirms the benefit but instructs the resident to verify the current load allowance.
2. Current recycling page vs 2025 plastic PDF
Current BDI page: newspaper, cans, mixed paper and cardboard. Older 2025 PDF: also certain #1/#2 plastic. The current page is given priority for 2026 planning.
3. Current Burn Line vs older City material
The current dedicated Pasco Burn Regulations page says 509-545-3425. Older City FAQ/handbook material still displays a different number. This article prioritizes the current dedicated regulations page.
4. Current HHW hotline vs legacy number
BDI’s current Transfer page lists Franklin County Solid Waste at 509-545-3551. A legacy number appears in an older material-specific FAQ answer, so this article uses the current Transfer page number.
5. Old article contamination removed
The older Pasco page contained unrelated Franklin, Tennessee tools and program references. Those have been removed completely because they do not belong in a Pasco, Washington resident guide.

Pasco Trash Pickup FAQs
How often is garbage collected in Pasco, Washington?
Basin Disposal’s current residential page says residential waste collection is weekly. The exact weekday is address-based.
How do I find my Pasco garbage pickup day?
Open the Pasco garbage/recycling ArcGIS map, locate the exact service address and record the garbage route weekday shown for the property.
What time should I put my Pasco cart out?
Basin Disposal says the cart should be visible the night before or no later than 5:00 AM on collection day.
Which way should my BDI cart face?
BDI’s current automated-cart instructions say the handles should point away from the street.
Is extra garbage free inside Pasco city limits?
BDI says qualifying additional garbage has no extra pickup charge inside city limits when the main cart is filled first and the current preparation, 65-lb, size and 3-ft placement rules are met.
Does Pasco give residents free dump coupons?
The City material currently available to residents says Basin Disposal supplies Pasco residents with two annual “free disposal” coupons. Residents should verify current weight, material and ID rules directly with BDI before loading a vehicle.
Are the Pasco disposal coupons definitely 500 pounds each in 2026?
This guide does not make that claim. A much older City archive referenced a 500-lb allowance, while the current resident handbook confirms the two coupons without stating that weight. Call BDI for the current 2026 allowance.
Does Pasco have a senior garbage discount?
Yes. The City publishes a Reduced Garbage Rates Application. The form requires an applicant to be at least 62, meet residence/payment conditions and provide household-income information and proof. Utility Billing can provide current eligibility details at 509-545-3488.
Does Labor Day delay Pasco garbage collection in 2026?
Basin Disposal Inc. currently lists Labor Day as a worked holiday. Regular service is therefore not routinely shifted solely because of Labor Day.
Which BDI holidays cause a one-day delay?
