Shoreline Recycling & Transfer Station is the local place in Shoreline for dropping off residential recyclables and diverting bulky items from the landfill. Neighbors, landscapers and anyone cleaning out the garage tend to show up here. The site sits at 2300 N 165th St and looks like a typical city recycling center rather than a retail spot.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s usually a scale area between the entrance and exit so vehicles often pause twice. Recycling bins and drop-off lanes are grouped in plain view from the access road, with pavement, signs and concrete bunkers separating material piles. Weekends, especially spring and fall, get busy and lines can form; weekdays are generally calmer. Expect to sort or separate certain items before unloading, since Washington facilities commonly ask for yard waste and recyclables to be separated.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials already sorted as much as possible - flatten boxes, bundle loose items, and separate yard debris from recyclables to speed things up.
  • Plan for possible lineups on weekends and public-cleanup times; arriving midweek or early in the morning often means less waiting.
  • Watch the signage and lane markings when pulling in; there are usually specific spots for drop-off versus through traffic, so follow the arrows and park only where unloading is allowed.
