Small transfer-style facility used by Poulsbo residents dropping off household waste and yard debris. Located on Viking Ave NW, this is the local spot people swing by for cleanup runs and smaller loads. It feels like a neighborhood drop-off rather than a big regional station.
Drive in to a booth area where vehicles pause to check in, then pull forward to the unloading zones and skips. There are separate containers and piles for different materials, so expect to sort yard clippings and recyclables before dumping. A scale is commonly part of the exit process at sites like this, so plan for a brief stop before leaving. The site looks industrial - concrete pads, metal bins, and a traffic flow that keeps vehicles moving in a loop.
