Waste Management - Wenatchee Transfer Station

Small transfer station in Wenatchee used mostly by residents dropping off household junk, yard debris and recyclables. It’s the kind of place people use when hauling stuff is easier than making the trip to a distant landfill. Expect a practical, working-site feel rather than anything polished.

Drive up to an entrance with a manned booth and a lane where vehicles wait their turn; there’s typically a scale so trucks and trailers will stop to be weighed. Loads are unloaded into large containers or compactors and then hauled out to a landfill, so it can be noisy and a bit dusty. Recycling and yard waste are usually kept separate in their own areas because Washington emphasizes separating those materials. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have longer lines, so queues and waiting trucks are common.
