DTG Recycle

DTG Recycle on E Marginal Way is a neighborhood recycling center in Seattle that people bring household and small business recyclables to. It’s the kind of place locals swing by when clearing out cardboard, cans, or mixed recyclables and want to keep stuff out of the landfill. The site sits in an industrial stretch near the Duwamish, so expect truck traffic and a lot of forklifts around.

Pull into the driveway and look for a small entrance booth and a scale-many centers here weigh loads and that scale is usually part of the process. The yard is open with rows of roll-offs and bins; common materials handled at centers like this include paper, cardboard, metals, glass and many plastics, and some centers also run special programs for things like e-waste or scrap metal. Vehicles typically pull up to drop off at the appropriate bin or container, then loop back to the scale on the way out. Weekends, especially in spring or after holidays, can get congested and maneuvering a trailer takes a bit of patience.
