Eells Hill Transfer Station in Shelton is the local spot where residents drop off household refuse and similar loads. People from nearby neighborhoods and small haulers use it for everyday cleanups and yard-clearances.
The site looks like a working lot with big roll-off containers and tipping areas visible from the entrance road. Expect to pull into a driveway area and then drive to the appropriate drop-off lane; signage and separate piles for things like recyclables or yard debris are common in Washington facilities. Lines form on busy days, so there can be a pause before reaching the unloading area. The overall feel is practical and no-frills - bring everything secured and ready to hand off or dump.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort yard waste and recyclables ahead of time - Washington facilities often expect separation at the drop-off, so having piles pre-sorted saves time.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; spring cleanup and warm-weather weekends tend to be the busiest times.
- Bring straps or a tarp to secure your load for the drive in, and have items easy to lift or slide out to keep the stop quick.
