United Recycling & Container

Small, no-frills recycling center in Snohomish that locals drop off a handful of things at a time or bring the trunk load after a yard day. Neighbors, landscapers, and people cleaning garages use it to keep recyclable stuff out of the landfill. The place feels like a working yard rather than a showroom - expect practical, hands-on sorting.

There’s a drive-up entrance with a small booth and a scale near the driveway, so vehicles pause as they enter and leave. Pull up, get directed toward the concrete bays and big open piles where cardboard, metal, and glass are sorted; many spots are marked but also a bit weathered. Yard waste and green material are usually separated from recyclables in Washington, so have those set aside before backing in. Weekends and spring cleanup days fill up quickly, with trucks, trailers, and pickups jockeying for space.
