Enumclaw Recyclers is the small-town recycling center on Garrett Street that neighborhood folks and landscapers swing by to drop off cardboard, cans, bottles and the usual recyclables. Neighbors use it for clearing out garage and yard-haul materials that don't fit in curbside bins. The place feels practical and a little busy on weekends.
A modest entrance with a small booth and a place to pull up for drop-offs; trucks and trailers are common. Expect separate piles or containers for metals, cardboard and mixed recyclables, with yard debris handled separately. There’s usually a scale to weigh loads so vehicles stop on the way in and again leaving. The site is open-air with piles and roll-offs, so dress for the weather and muddy footing at times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Break down and flatten cardboard to save space and make unloading quicker.
- Load items in the order they’ll be unloaded - heavy things first so they don’t block access to recyclables.
- Bring gloves and a tarp for loose debris; it’s easier to hand off materials while standing on the tailgate than digging through a messy load.
