Recycling at Purdy Transfer Station

A neighborhood recycling drop-off at Purdy Transfer Station, used mainly by Gig Harbor residents hauling household recyclables and yard debris. Short trips and carloads are common here; contractors with bigger loads come through too.

The site sits like a typical transfer station with a clear driveway and an entrance booth where vehicles pause before proceeding. Recycling containers are grouped together - expect piles of cardboard, mixed paper, bottles and cans, scrap metal and the occasional electronics collection area. Yard waste is usually handled separately in Washington, so have that kept apart from curb-type recyclables. Weekends get noticeably busier, and larger trucks take more time to maneuver, so there can be short lines at peak times.
