Long overdue review for a community resource in Shoreline. I've stopped by the Shoreline Recycling…read more& Transfer Station for awhile to recycle styrofoam inserts and mailing boxes (not packing peanuts!). Recently, I've stopped in to recycle clean plastic bags and clean, broken down cardboard. It's located off of 165th & Meridian and rarely a line at the main gate. Make sure before entering that your load is properly secured or you will be charged an additional fee. It's County and/or State Law to secure your load. My visits have been secured via my trunk or back seat of my car, so this is not applicable. I've also heard from a college friend who was turned away because she was a Seattle resident, this is site is only for King County - Shoreline residents. The folks at the window are very helpful. For styrofoam, plastic bags, and cardboard there is no charge. Just follow the blue line on the road, drive slowly through the transfer station area, and on the other side are clearly marked areas for these specific items to be properly discarded for recycling. For other items, big bulky items, medical waste, stuff to toss into the transfer station, etc, the staff will advise you accordingly. Your vehicle will be weighed before and after to be charged an appropriate fee. It's also cool to see and listen to the Big Wheel art installation that emits distinctive sounds as you drive to/from the site. Refer to their website for additional, up to date information via kingcounty.gov

A place that takes my Styrofoam recycling for free? No paid membership? (Ridwell) No purchase…read morerequired? (Recology) AND take many other types of recycling for free?!!? FIVE STARS!!! My local city had hosted a Styrofest before the pandemic. Since its cancellation, it has been a struggle to find a proper recycler for block Styrofoam that opens on the weekend. One magical place - the Shoreline transfer station serving King County residents! I read before going that they accept many types of residential recycling for free. We filled our car with blocks of Styrofoam that have been sitting in the garage for years, a collection of textiles that aren't usable, and a big bag of plastic bags and wrappers that meet the recycling requirements. Because they also take dump at a fee, we are stopped at the little kiosk. She sees our Styrofoam and immediately tells us to follow the blue line. The rest is super simple, keep driving until you see the container like bins with the open doors, stop, empty the car, and leave. FREE! A sign says let an employee know if the super-sized bags are full. Signs at each bin tell you exactly what is or is not acceptable; that information is also online. We are super happy with how easy and useful it was. If you are an ardent and adamant recycler like me, this place is magical!

I wanted to add yard waste to my existing services and they make it such a hassle. You can't do anything online, so you have to call. Then they say they can't get you a bin for 18 more days which means I will be waiting 32 days for my first pick up. Seems excessively long. Wish they'd let you just pick up the bin yourself.

They paid more than I thought I was going to get from it and the whole process took just a couple minutes. You do need to go there driving a car (no walk ins) and show an ID. I'm sure that minimizes the risk of them buying stolen items. Overall, great experience and would recommend selling there. I was also glad to know the story behind this family business :)

Almost hidden in plain sight. Yards get a bad rap for trying to rip people off. Not in my one experience: I got what Google said was being paid for the part and weight. I had visited yards with my dad long ago: some of the fun was seeing what people discarded. But here they pretty much removed the scap immediately: about as clean as one could imagine for such a business. A bit overwhelming for a first-timer. Now that I know the ropes, I could be smoother and maybe give the extra star (note: 5 stars is Far Exceeding expectations, involving walking on water. 4 is above average and is a great score. 3 is what a run of the mill experience gets)

Scheduling was a breeze, they fit me in quickly, they were prompt, pricing was good, and they're just really, really nice folks. A couple of notes: they took great care to back their truck in so as not to damage the old trees that overhang my driveway. Plus, I underestimated the amount of space in the truck my junk would take up, but they knew how to load items so as to use every square inch of space and stick to the quote. That's service. I will definitely use them again.

The location feels like it's in the boonies of Woodinville, but it's tucked away in a corner warehouse you pull up to do a quick drop off.

NOTE: per their website not all items are free to recycle, but this location was sufficient enough for my specific items.
