Skamania County Transfer Site

Small county transfer station just off Mt Pleasant Road that locals use for household cleanouts and yard debris. People from Washougal and nearby areas drop off compacted loads here before the haulers take them to a landfill. It feels like a working, no-frills place rather than a public park.

Drive up to an entrance booth and stop briefly before pulling into the yard; there’s a scale and traffic flow to follow so expect to pause. Vehicles pull into lanes near large open bays where dumpsters and compactors sit; trucks move loads out rather than the material staying on-site long term. In Washington, separate yard waste and recyclables as most facilities expect that, so have those piles sorted before entering. Weekends and spring cleanup times can lead to lines and some waiting.
