LRI - Anderson Island Transfer Station is the small island transfer station where locals bring household trash, recyclables and yard clippings to be compacted and hauled off the island. Neighbors, gardeners and anyone hauling a pickup or small trailer tend to use it rather than making a long trip to a mainland landfill. The site handles drop-off loads and is set up for regular residential use.

Drive in and find a pull-up area and separate drop points for different materials; the facility compacts trash and trucks it out rather than burying it on site. Expect to sort recyclables and yard debris because Washington emphasizes separating those materials. The site footprint is modest - not a huge industrial complex - so vehicles stack up more easily on busy days. Staff typically direct traffic, but bring prepared, separated loads to move through more quickly.

Before You Go

  • Sort recyclables and yard waste beforehand; having items separated saves time and matches state recycling expectations.
  • Avoid peak weekend times if possible-spring and early summer cleanup days get noticeably busier and lines form.
  • Secure loose loads (tarps, ties) and have doors or lids accessible for quick unloading to cut down on time spent on site.
