Blue Mountain Transfer Station

Blue Mountain Transfer Station is the local transfer station for Port Angeles residents who need to drop off household trash, recyclables, and yard debris instead of driving to a distant landfill. Neighbors use it for everything from small carloads to pickup-truck trips during yard cleanup. The site feels like a working, mid-sized county facility rather than a tidy retail drop-off.

Drive up a short lane to an entrance booth and slow down for traffic; there’s a scale you’ll cross and most vehicles stop again on the way out. Pull-up lanes lead to concrete drop-off bays and compactors, with larger trucks sharing the same yard so give extra room. The layout is mostly open asphalt and concrete with visible concrete ramps and piles, and expect a mix of personal vehicles and commercial haulers. Because Washington emphasizes separating recyclables and yard waste, have those materials sorted before leaving home.
