Seattle Dump Hours

The Seattle transfer stations are open from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, 7 days a week. If you have any questions you can call the Transfer Station information line at (206) 684-8400 for basic information – rates, hours, accepted materials.

The dumps are closed on major holidays such as

  • 4th of July
  • Thanksgiving
  • Christmas Day
  • New Year’s Day.

If the location or dump hours aren’t suitable, you still have another option – Action Junk Hauling. We’re a Seattle junk removal company that’ll dispose of your garbage efficiently and responsibly. Just tell us what you need hauled, and we’ll be there and in a blink the garbage will be cleared. We charge a nominal fee for complete pickup, removal, and disposal service.

Seattle Dump Fees

The transfer stations charge fees based on your vehicle. Sedans, station wagons and sport utility vehicles are charged a flat rate per trip, while all other vehicles (trucks, pick-up trucks, vans, minivans, etc.) are charged a per-ton rate. Here are their rates:

Note:

Make sure your waste is properly segregated, and that your recyclables aren’t dirty. Clean yard waste, for instance, costs less but if some plastic is mixed in it’ll cost you an extra $10 for garbage. Recyclables such as paper, plastic, glass and metal should be clean, or they’ll be non-recyclable and you’ll have to pay the full rate for garbage.

Hazardous Waste Dumps in Seattle

If you’re wondering how to get rid of hazardous waste in Seattle, read on. There are separate facilities for disposing of hazardous waste, which you can’t do at the Transfer Stations. Seattle has 2 locations for Hazardous Waste and 1 more location in Bellevue. All King County residents can use these facilities.

Here’s a tool to find how how to dispose of different kinds of hazardous waste in King County.

The hazardous waste facility does not, as some might assume, take everything. They take motor oil, drain openers, hobby chemicals, cleaning products, certain batteries (alkaline, button, rechargeable and vehicle batteries), adhesives, mercury-containing thermometers and various other materials. Some things they don’t accept include asbestos, medical waste, latex paints and stains, explosives, and sharps.
