Get Directions

KM Transfer Station is the small transfer station just off WA-4 in Skamokawa that local residents use when the landfill is too far to drive to. It handles household drop-offs and loads are compacted and trucked out to a larger landfill elsewhere. Locals swing by with everything from old furniture to yard debris.

Expect a rural, no-frills site with an entrance booth and a scale where vehicles stop to be weighed; charges are typically by weight at transfer stations. Pull up to the booth, then follow the traffic flow to the tipping area or recycling spots-drive slowly and watch for other vehicles and backing trucks. Yard waste and recyclables commonly need to be separated in Washington, so there are usually separate piles or bins for those materials. Weekends, especially during spring cleanups, get busier and lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Separate yard waste and recyclables before getting to the site so unloading is quicker and less chaotic.
  • Bring tarps and straps for loose loads; windy rural sites can blow debris around and trailer loads need securing.
  • Plan to arrive earlier in the day on weekends or during spring cleanup to avoid long waits; have vehicles ready to drive onto the scale without shuffling items around in the lane.
