In Snohomish County, residents with property in the county who have a valid voucher can drop off floodwater-damaged household items at no cost until mid-March, with a possible extension until May 31. The vouchers are not eligible for commercial or business waste.

Vouchers can be obtained at the American Red Cross in Everett, Snohomish County Courthouse, North, South, and East Precincts, and the Granite Falls, Snohomish, and Stanwood Police Departments.

Once the voucher is obtained, residents can dispose of water-damaged items at the Airport Road, North County, or Southwest County Recycling and Transfer Stations, the Dubuque Road Drop Box, Granite Falls Drop Box, or Sultan Drop Box.

Accepted items include flood-damaged carpets, mattresses, clothes, furniture, plasterboard, appliances (except refrigerators and freezers), oil-based paint, and small amounts of hazardous waste.
