Small county transfer station right on US-2 that folks from Cashmere and Dryden use when a pickup or trailer is full. A practical stop for household junk and yard clippings when driving to a distant landfill isn't appealing. Material is compacted here and then loaded onto trucks to be hauled off elsewhere.
A small entrance booth and scale are close to the road, so prepare to pull up and pause while other vehicles shuffle through. Recycling bins are typically off to the right past the booth, and piles or containers for yard material are kept separate - having things sorted makes unloading faster. Expect heavy equipment, roll-off containers and transfer trailers working the yard; watch for moving vehicles and give them space. After dropping items, vehicles usually stop back at the scale before leaving since transfer stations commonly charge by weight.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at home if possible-Washington facilities often require separation and it saves time at the drop-off.
- Avoid weekend mid-mornings and big spring cleanup days; lines build up quickly, so aim for a weekday or later in the afternoon if the schedule allows.
- Secure loads with straps or tarps, wear sturdy shoes and gloves, and be ready to climb into a truck bed or trailer to move material for faster unloading.
