Customers can report a missed garbage, yard waste or recycling collection by calling (206) 684-3000 or by clicking on ?Report Missed Collection? at SPU?s website.

Compost your giblets: Seattle residents can put all their Thanksgiving food scraps and unwanted leftovers, including green bean casserole, aspic, turkey bones, celery, yams, potatoes, fruitcake and paper napkins in their food and yard waste carts.
