Waste Facility
Saturday Drop
1000 10th Ave SE, Olympia, WA 98501
Saturday Drop is the neighborhood spot in Olympia where locals bring their household refuse and garden clippings. It’s used mostly by residents doing weekend cleanups or people finishing a small home project. The site sits on 10th Ave SE and looks like a typical community drop-off rather than a big industrial complex.
Drive up and you’ll see an entrance booth and an open lot with a few large containers and piles beyond it. There’s a scale near the entrance area, so plan for a short stop coming and going; many yards charge by weight. Recycling bins and piles of yard material are set off to one side, and the ground is mostly gravel with some paved lanes for trucks. Lines build up on busy days, so expect some waiting if several vehicles are ahead.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort yard waste and recyclables before getting to the site - Washington expects separation of those materials at many facilities.
- Bring gloves, a tarp, and straps so the load stays secure and unloading is quicker.
- Unload from the passenger side if possible and have any helpers ready to speed things up during busier weekend periods.
