(425) 222-0008Rainier Wood Recyclers, Inc. is a recycling center in Covington that handles bulky plant and wood materials for residents and small contractors. Neighbors bring loads here when yard waste, clean wood, pallets or other large recyclables need to be diverted from the landfill. The site sits on Covington Way SE and looks like a working-yard rather than a retail store.
Drive up to a small entrance booth/scale area where trucks and pickups line up; the site charges by weight so vehicles usually stop twice - in and out. Large piles of processed wood and separate collection bins are visible from the entrance, with drop-off points a short walk or drive from the booth. The yard is industrial with heavy equipment and wide drive lanes, so plan for some dust and noise on busy days. Weekends and spring cleanup periods often have longer lines, while weekday mid-mornings tend to move faster.
