Lakeside Disposal & Recycling

Lakeside Disposal & Recycling is the recycling center in Moses Lake that locals use to drop off household recyclables and keep stuff out of the landfill. People bring everything from flattened cardboard to glass jars and mixed cans. The facility follows the common Washington practice of separating yard waste and recyclables, so be ready to sort before you get there.

The site is a working recycling yard with large open bays and piles or containers for different materials; it looks more industrial than a retail drop-off. There’s an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles often stop, and recycling bins are grouped a short drive past that initial area. Expect to pull up with a truck or trailer if hauling big loads; passenger cars can usually find a spot to unload but might have to wait when it’s busy. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines at the bays can form.
