LRI Services is the local place in Gig Harbor people use when the curbside truck won't cut it - a community drop-off for household-level disposal. Neighbors bring carloads, pickups, and small trailers here for general waste and to sort out recyclables and yard debris as required by Washington rules.
A small entrance booth sits at the drive-in; most vehicles pull up there before moving through the site. There’s a scale to drive over so trucks get weighed, and traffic usually flows from that point to separate areas for recycling, yard waste, and general trash. The layout is open and a bit industrial-concrete pads, piles, and large roll-off containers-so expect to climb up or back a trailer to dump. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so lines at the booth and for the containers are common.

Before You Go
- Sort yard debris and recyclables at home before coming so unloading goes faster and follows Washington’s separation expectations.
- Drive carefully on-site; approach the booth slowly and be ready to stop at the scale again on the way out.
- Bring gloves, a tarp, and straps-loads shift when tipping and having things secured or covered saves time and fuss.
