New year brings some changes to garbage collection |
|
With the new year, the City of Marysville is now providing garbage collection service in central Marysville where Waste Management was formerly the service provider. The city now provides all residential garbage service within city limits.
We ask affected households to put out all gray trash bins this week, regardless of whether they are marked City of Marysville or Waste Management. Leave Waste Management carts at the curb so they can be removed.
If you do not have a gray City of Marysville garbage bin, or you want to change the size of your bin or frequency of service, please email utilitybilling@marysvillewa.gov or call 360-363-8001 Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Waste Management continues to provide mandatory recycling and optional yard services through a contract with the city.

City Public Works crews get year-end road test |
|
What a way to end 2021! December's winter storm was record-breaking with temperatures in the teens for several days.
Starting Christmas weekend, the city's Street Division worked extra hours operating the city's seven snow plows and applying salt/sand deicer to the city's most heavily traveled roadways. When snow falls, the crews focus clearing efforts on arterials leading in and out of the city, arterials on hills, fire and police access roads and all other arterials within city limits.

Emergency cold weather shelter opens in Marysville |
|
A local church has answered the call, and together with multiple community partners, opened a cold weather shelter to protect vulnerable persons from bitter overnight temperatures.
The shelter, located at Generations Church, 8240 64th St. N.E. has the ability to provide warmth for to up to 50 people. Cots, blankets, pillows, snacks and water are provided.
“Thank you so much to everyone who has had a hand in getting this open,” Mayor Jon Nehring said. “A very special thank you to Pastor (Craig) Laughlin for opening up his church and making this happen during such a critical time.”
When Snohomish County Human Resources officials reached out about the need for a cold weather shelter in the Marysville area, Pastor Laughlin was interested. The city building inspector and Marysville Fire Marshal worked together with Generations Church to fast-track site approval during this weather emergency. Marysville’s embedded social worker team also helped make it happen.
“We appreciate the strong partnership with Mayor Nehring and the City of Marysville,” said Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers. “Looking out for our most vulnerable residents is a priority for all of us.”

Freezing temperatures increase chance of frozen pipes |
|
With winter just beginning, we are likely to see more freezing temperatures in the coming weeks.
Here's what to do to help prevent frozen pipes:
- Cover outdoor spigots and insulate exposed pipes
- Leave a slow drip from faucet
- Know where your main water shut-off valve is located
- Open cabinet doors to expose pipes to warm air
Signs you may have a frozen pipe:
If you turn on a faucet and only a trickle comes out, you may have a frozen pipe. Shut off your main water supply immediately. Then, turn faucets on and locate the frozen pipe. Note that the frozen pipe may appear swollen, as water expands when frozen. If you are unable to locate the frozen pipe, call a plumber.
What to use to thaw pipes:
- Hair dryer
- Heating pad
- Heating lamp
- Hot towels
- Space heater
For a pipe that has burst, shut off your main water supply immediately. Clean up as much standing water as possible to avoid water damage. Call a plumber.

Tree recycling available
Wondering what to do with your tree? Marysville residents have at least three green options:
-
Customers in Marysville who subscribe to yard waste services with Waste Management can place trees inside their green yard waste cart for no additional cost. If the tree is next to the bin, an additional fee may be charged.
-
Cedar Grove is offering free tree recycling to Marysville residents at its Everett location. Residents must show photo ID indicating you live in Marysville. Additional trees may be recycled for $5 each.
-
Snohomish County transfer stations, including the Arlington facility located at 19600 63rd Ave. NE. Cost is $5 per tree.
Please, only recycle unflocked and undecorated trees.
What happens to the trees once recycled? Many of our small trails in city parks are covered with wood chips from recycled Christmas trees! When they can be recycled into bark or mulch, it's better than going into a landfill.

City sets legislative priorities for 2022 |
|
The City Council has determined its legislative priorities for the new legislative session, which begins Jan. 10. We continue to engage with legislature regarding potential amendments to law enforcement bills enacted in 2021, while continuing to evaluate future police reforms through advocacy and education.
The city has an excellent track record of obtaining state funding for various improvement projects in our community. These funds go towards keeping our city a great place to work, live and play. We are grateful to have such strong working relationships with legislators in Olympia who represent Marysville and surrounding areas.
In the coming weeks, Mayor Jon Nehring and City Councilmembers will discuss with legislators in Olympia the city’s priorities for state policy and funding requests. The requests include funding for the Grove Street and 156th Street NE Railroad Overcrossing projects, Marysville-Lake Stevens Trail Connector and Comeford Park Redesign.
