Port Angeles Transfer and Recycling is the local recycling center on W 18th St that people from the city and surrounding areas use to keep bulky stuff out of the landfill. Small pickups, trailer loads and neighborhood cleanups all show up here; it's the kind of place locals swing by when they have sorted recyclables or yard debris to drop off.

A modest industrial lot with large roll-off containers and covered sorting bays rather than a tidy storefront. There’s typically a drive-up entrance where vehicles line up to unload, and piles or bins for different materials scattered across the site. Common materials at places like this include cardboard, mixed paper, glass, metals, many plastics, and often yard waste; some recycling centers also run occasional e-waste or appliance programs. Busy weekends and spring cleanup season can mean a wait, so plan for a short lineup and a bit of walking with loads between your vehicle and the container.

Before You Go

  • Separate recyclables and yard debris before getting out of the vehicle - Washington encourages sorting and it saves time at the drop-off.
  • Bring straps or tarps for loose loads so nothing blows out while you wait in line; unsecured loads are a nuisance to others and slow the process down.
  • Aim for midweek or early morning if possible - weekends fill up, especially during yard-waste season, and early visits usually move faster.
