Transfer Station

Republic Services Goldendale Transfer Station

1205 W Broadway St, Goldendale, WA 98620

(509) 773-6202

Small transfer station in Goldendale that locals use when hauling household junk, yard clippings, or a full pickup load. It’s the kind of place people go when driving all the way to a distant landfill isn’t worth it. Located on W Broadway, it’s a practical stop for town residents and small contractors.

Pull into a modest entrance off the street; many transfer stations have an entrance booth and a single lane for dropping loads, so plan for a short wait if someone else is unloading. Vehicles are typically directed to an unloading area where material is dumped and then compacted into larger trucks to be hauled elsewhere. Recycling and yard waste are commonly handled separately in Washington, so look for separate bin areas and staff signage guiding where to put those. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually bring the longest lines, while midweek tends to be quieter.

Before You Go

  • Sort recyclables and yard waste before you go - Washington State encourages separation, and it will save time at the site.
  • Bring a tarp and straps for loose material; a tied-down load makes unloading safer and faster.
  • Try to come midweek or early in the morning on a weekend to avoid the biggest backups during spring cleanup season.
