A no-frills drop box site on Dubuque Road that locals use to get rid of household and yard debris. People from Snohomish bring trailers, pickup loads and anything that fits into the large containers. It's the kind of place used for one-off cleanups rather than regular recycling runs.
A small entrance with a booth and a handful of large roll-off containers and bins spread across a gravel lot. Pull up slowly, park near the container that matches the load, and be prepared to lift or shovel - some containers sit up a bit from the ground. Washington requires separating yard waste and recyclables, so have those piles sorted before getting out of the vehicle. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a bit of waiting if it's busy.

Before You Go
- Bring gloves, a tarp and a shovel - loose loads take longer to handle and the ground is often gravel or dirt.
- Sort yard waste and recyclables at home before showing up so unloading goes faster and there's less back-and-forth.
- If hauling a trailer or a truck, secure the load and have someone outside to guide backing up to a container; weekends and holiday weekends are noticeably busier.
