Steps
Browse or search data.seattle.gov for datasets tagged under solid waste, garbage, or recycling collection.
Open a dataset's landing page and use the API docs panel in the upper right to get its resource ID and SODA endpoint.
Query the endpoint with standard SODA/SoQL parameters such as $where, $limit, and $order.
Register a Socrata app token for sustained or higher-volume use.
Known gotchas
Seattle Public Utilities' collection-day and service data is split across multiple datasets rather than one unified recycling table - confirm you have the right dataset before building on it.
The Socrata platform is now Tyler Technologies' Data & Insights division, but documentation still lives at the historical dev.socrata.com domain, which can be confusing when cross-referencing branding.
