A small transfer station on US 97A that locals use when hauling household trash, old furniture, or yard debris instead of driving to a distant landfill. Mostly residential traffic stops here to drop things off for compacting and onward transport; expect a working, utilitarian site rather than anything fancy.
A single entrance with an attendant booth near the drive; vehicles usually stop there first and then pull forward to where the bins and tipping areas are. There’s a scale in most transfer stations like this, so vehicles often pause again on the way out for weighing. The recycling and yard-waste options in Washington typically need to be separated, so see the nearby containers and signs to sort materials before dumping. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, while midweek tends to be quieter.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have recyclables and yard waste separated before rolling up to the booth - the state pushes separation and it’s faster if things are sorted in advance.
- Stay in the vehicle until directed; traffic flow is usually single-file and there’s limited room to turn around with a trailer.
- Cover loose loads for the drive over and bring gloves and a tarp for hauling - it makes unloading less messy and quicker at the drop-off points.
