We've used the Tacoma station for decades. Easy access. Free for regular stuff. Light traffic in the recycle area but can be busy in the main garbage lane. For years I change my car oil next to the oil recycle area. Last year I was excoriated by a woman worker and told I would be fined if I do it again. Left a bad taste in my mouth but just for the hag.
Who doesn’t love the dump?!? It’s so easy. You take all your unnecessary and unused items in your car and chuck it at. Big pile of other people’s unused stuff. Self serve and feels so good.
It was a transfer station (dump). The staff did their job (bring proof of address). Way too many signs and random collections by staff and equipment. Simple enough to navigate.
A very easy place to deposit your recycling items. Dumpsters are clearly posted as to which items are for deposit. Easy access to these Dumpsters and all areas are very clean and well kept. All Dumpsters appear to be emptied and kept ready for depositing materials at all times.
Drive in and park next to the bins to drop off your household recycling. They take cardboard, paper, plastic tubs and bottles, plastic film, styrofoam, batteries, motor oil, and more.
Great customer service. Check their website before going if you’re planning on recycling during COVID. There are certain days when the recycle center is closed. Also break down all of your boxes before you leave home to make things easier to separate upon arrival.
I've worked in the recycling business for several years up until the pandemic. And I have to say that this recycling and transfer center is the best I have seen in the local area. Sure, the one in King County at Bow Lake is a close 2nd but how can you compete with FREE YARD WASTE DISPOSAL! You can't.
Best place to dump or recycle!
I'm not sure how people can complain about a FREE site for recycling just about anything, including hazardous materials. It's well organized and clearly labelled. Bins are emptied regularly.
The cost for disposal of garbage (whatever you can't recycle) is pretty reasonable. The staff that manage the disposal area are friendly and funny,
I have been a residential customer as well as commercial customer for years. Solid Waste is very consistent, clean, and thorough with their regular pick ups. They also are very responsive for special pick ups (like furniture), roll-on dumpsters, and every one of the dozens of staff I've worked with have been friendly and professional.
I wish the website would show how to change the size of a customer's garbage bin. The site provides the rates and sizes, but leaves it to the customer's imagination as to how to accomplish the change. I've been pleased with their service on the days when I've actually gone there.
