Snohomish County operates the receiving facilities here, so we can tell you exactly where a load goes and when it can get there.
The Southwest Recycling & Transfer Station at 21311 61st Place West, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043 is the nearest site, open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, with the county asking drivers to arrive at least thirty minutes before closing. There is an important catch: top-loaded open containers on a rolling chassis are not permitted there at any time.
That is why many Edmonds loads travel north to the Airport Road Recycling & Transfer Station at 10700 Minuteman Drive, Everett, WA 98204, on the same daily hours. There, the same container type is allowed from 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 1 p.m. at weekends. Hydraulic dump vehicles are allowed at both. We build the collection window around that, and it is the main reason an Edmonds pickup is often an afternoon slot.
For household chemicals there is the Snohomish County Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Station at 3434 McDougall Avenue, Everett, WA 98201, on 425-388-6050, open to households Wednesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and to small businesses Wednesday to Friday until 3 p.m. by appointment. That site takes hazardous waste only, so please do not plan a container load around it. Your account manager names the station and the tipping window before delivery.
