Secure Your Load

Vehicles arriving with unsecured loads at public or private transfer stations in King County can be charged an unsecured load fee.

The King County transfer stations are facilities where hauling companies, businesses and King County residents can bring their waste. The waste is consolidated at the transfer stations and then transported to the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill for disposal. Recycling services also are available for King County residents at all transfer stations and drop boxes except Algona and Factoria. The Factoria transfer station also offers household hazardous waste collection for residential customers. The transfer stations are all located in King County, outside the City of Seattle. All King County transfer stations are closed on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas day. See hours of operation for specific station information.

The City of Seattle is not included in King County's service area. The city provides garbage collection and recycling services for businesses and residents within the Seattle city limits. For information about the City of Seattle disposal and recycling stations, please call City of Seattle Public Utilities at 206-684-3000 or visit the Seattle Public Utilities Web site (external link).
