Waste Facility
Waste Management - Alaska Street Reload Facility
70 S Alaska St, Seattle, WA 98108
(800) 963-4050This is the Waste Management - Alaska Street Reload Facility at 70 S Alaska St in Seattle. Neighbors, landscapers and folks with small trailers use it when curbside pickup won't handle a big load.
Pull into an industrial lot with roll-off containers, concrete unloading pads and steady truck traffic. There is a small entrance booth and a scale area typical of reload sites; loads are commonly weighed so expect to stop there. Lanes can be tight when semis are moving, and forklifts or loaders are often shifting containers around. Weekends-especially spring cleanup time-get backed up, and wind or dust can be an issue near open containers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort yard debris and recyclables before getting there; Washington facilities commonly ask for separation and it speeds unloading.
- Cover loose loads with a tarp and tie things down to keep material from blowing off while hauling and during transfer on-site.
- If towing a trailer, practice backing into narrow spots and secure a passenger to spot if possible; maneuvering and busy lanes can add time.
