A small transfer station on Camano Island used by residents hauling household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. Easy to reach from town, it’s the place many locals use instead of driving out to a far-off landfill.
Drive up to an entrance booth and wait your turn to pull through; there’s usually a scale so vehicles may be weighed and charged by weight. The site is compact rather than sprawling - drop-off lanes and handling areas are visible from the drive-in. Yard waste and recyclables often need to be separated, so expect separate piles or bins for those materials. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring yard-cleanup season, so there can be a bit of waiting.

Before You Go
- Sort yard waste and recyclables before getting to the gate so unloading goes faster and keeps traffic moving.
- Bring ties, tarps, or containers that make it easy to unload - loose loads slow things down and blow debris around.
- Try going midweek or later in the afternoon to avoid the weekend rush, especially in spring when people are clearing their yards.
