Current Law in Tukwila
Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 6.12 was established in 1964 under the "Tukwila Refuse
Ordinance." TMC Section 6.12.040, Adequate Receptacles Required, prohibits owners or
occupants of private property to accumulate or allow the accumulation of litter other than in
approved receptacles. TMC Title 5, Business Licenses and Regulations, does not currently
address garbage or litter requirements beyond this.
