Olalla Recycling & Garbage Facility

A small county recycling center that locals use to drop off household recyclables and yard debris. It’s the kind of place neighbors pull into with a truck or a loaded hatchback, not a retail stop but handy for clearing out junk and garden clippings.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale visible from the road, so plan for a quick stop before getting to the drop-off areas. The site looks industrial: rows of bins, open concrete pads, and piles for bulk materials; vehicles pull up to specific bins or pads to unload. Materials are typically separated - paper and cardboard, bottles and cans, yard waste - and some recycling centers in the state run special programs for electronics or scrap metal. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so lines and a bit of waiting are normal.
