Royal HeighTransfer Station Transfer Station

Royal HeighTransfer Station Transfer Station sits on Highway 105 just outside Raymond and is the kind of place neighbors use when hauling stuff they don’t want to drive all the way to a landfill. It’s where loads are compacted and then trucked out, and because this is Washington, separating recyclables and yard waste is commonly expected.

Expect a compact, working site rather than anything fancy: a gate/booth area and a spot where vehicles pull up to sort and tip. Many transfer stations have a scale as part of the flow, and the actual dumping area leads to large bins or compactors that get hauled away. Big trucks move through the lot, so give them space and be ready to maneuver a short distance to the tipping area. Lines form on weekends and during spring or fall cleanups, so peak times can be slow.
