Small city transfer station used by Renton residents dropping off household trash and smaller cleanups. It’s the kind of place people use when they don’t want to drive out to a distant landfill. Many local folks stop here for quick runs of bags, old furniture, or yard debris.
Pull up to an entrance booth where staff check vehicle type and direct traffic; there’s usually a scale nearby and charges are by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. The site is mostly concrete bays and compactors with truck traffic moving in and out, so watch for large vehicles and follow the painted arrows and signs. Separate piles or containers for recyclables and yard waste are common in Washington, so have those items sorted before you get to the gate. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so lines and wait times are typical then.

- Bring a map or directions for the specific unloading lanes once you’re through the booth-this cuts confusion when there’s a line behind you.
