[cid:image002.png@01DC92A1.BE8D1820] The Vuecrest View Special Update, January 2026 [A group of trash cans Description automatically generated] We heard from several Vuecrest community members that their blue recycle bin was not emptied yesterday, January 30, 2026. A few neighbors said they have talked to Republic Services already and were told to leave their tote out for pick-up on Monday. If your recycle tote did not get emptied this week - here's a few things we recommend. * Call Republic Services and let them know your recycle bin pick-up was missed yesterday * This is super important, so Republic Services knows about your specific issue and location * Leave the recycle tote out on the curb for them pick it up / or whatever Republic Services tells you to do to remedy the situation Also, here's a few reminders regarding trash/recycle/yard waste tote etiquette in the Vuecrest community. Trash/Recycle/Yard waste tote etiquette * Totes should be put out the day before collection and then pulled back in the day after collection * Totes should be stored on your property in a place not visible from the street * Place totes at or nearest the end of your driveway for collection only * Secure all bin lids in the down position, especially the garbage bin to ensure lids are down and garbage is contained and helps keep birds and other critters from making a mess before collection * Ask a neighbor to put your totes out or bring them in if you are planning to be out of town * Never leave totes out on the street for an extended period * Promptly clean-up any trash or other debris that may have occurred near your property during collection day Visit Republic Services Bellevue <https://www.republicservices.com/municipality/bellevue-wa> for more information and multilanguage translations.
