A container that stays on private property, like your driveway, is outside the City's right-of-way permit. If any part of it sits in a street, sidewalk, bike lane, or the planting strip next to the road, you'll need a Right-of-Way Permit from the City of Mill Creek.
The City calls this permit its primary tool for keeping streets, sidewalks, and nearby landscaped areas safe for public use. You apply online, and the City does a preliminary review within two business days. Most reviews finish within ten business days after the application is accepted.
The Permit Counter at City Hall North, 15720 Main Street, Suite 110A, takes walk-ins Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to noon, with appointments from 1 to 5 p.m. For help, call the Mill Creek Permit Counter at 425-551-7254.
Because the City also has a hauler contract, your account manager will check both the permit and the contract question with the City and help you reach the right contact.
