Republic Services Renton Transfer Station

Republic Services Renton Transfer Station on Monster Rd SW is a local transfer station where residents drop off household trash and have it compacted before it’s hauled off to a landfill. People from Renton and nearby neighborhoods use it when a pickup or small-haul option won’t do. The site feels like a working industrial lot, not a tidy recycling center-bring patience for the process.

Drive up to an entrance booth and announce the load; there’s a scale on site so vehicles typically stop twice, once in and once out. The lot is paved with large concrete bays and compactors; trucks and trailers share the same lanes, so watch the flow. Recycling and yard-waste handling is separate in Washington, so expect to be directed where to leave those materials. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, and the whole area has the echoing noise of heavy equipment.
