I was really impressed with how clean and well organized the recycling area was. The staff were super friendly and helpful, they answered all my questions and made the process really smooth. Unfortunately, all the cardboard bins were full during my visit, so I was directed to the garbage area instead to use the cardboard recycling bin there. Just a heads up: It's VERY stinky in there, and I wasn't prepared for that part. I was wearing long pants, and they did get a bit wet from whatever was on the floor. It does look like the staff regularly cleans the floor area, which is probably why the floor was wet but still, not the most pleasant surprise! That's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise, great experience and helpful service!

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

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 cannot find anything about what this company does except that they will rent you a construction bin. If they have moved they have kept it well hidden.

We both knocked on the door but to no avail. The other customer calls the number posted out front and eventually a worker greets us. I told him I was dropping off a monitor and he told me it would cost $10. I told him I spoke to someone 20 minutes ago and was told it would be at no cost. The worker/owner(?) said it used to be free but now there is a cost per item. Ok.. why wasn't that disclosed when I called not even an hour ago? The other customer also said he spoke to someone yesterday and they told him it was free to drop off the peripherals. I'm giving the business 3 stars because they should have been upfront about the cost. I think they are saying it costs $0 to get people to show up, then charge them a fee at arrival. Truthfully, I would have been ok paying $10 - I just want transparency! Pretty sure he'll part out my monitor anyway since there's zinc, copper and metal in it but I find their business practice kinda shady.

They don't always pickup when they should, and it's a hassle to get one of their trucks to try again. And that retail shop on Aurora avenue? It's a nice idea, but every item is really pricey. And their in-store recycling service? They're very picky. I've tolerated it because they have managed to take some small appliances and batteries. But lately they've gotten more selective. They accept only certain parts of the appliances. They took a table top oven, but refused the metal baking rack? And they only accept one small batch of batteries, enough to fit inside a sandwich bag, and only if the contact ends are covered in shipping tape. Be SURE it's not scotch tape, or they will scold you! But don't tape the sandwich bag closed, or the lady will fuss over opening it to inspect everything. And you can't leave yet, they need to know your last name and address, in case you're trying sneak in from outside their service boundaries. Do they really think I drove across city limits for a bag of batteries? I miss the batteries recycling bin at Bartell Drugs, it was easy and no hassle.

Their certificate of destruction and their residential pickup services really sold it for me. I filled their online form late Saturday night, and wasn't expecting a reply until Monday (they're closed on the weekends) but to my shock one of their reps replied on Sunday and confirmed adding me to their route for a Monday pickup. They're not able to reserve a particular time slot/frame, you can request an ideal range but know if they can't arrive you'll need to go in person or reschedule to another day. If you do need to reschedule the pickup for a day with more flex, be sure to notify them right away so they can update the driver. For me, the flat fee was $75 but this could range for others (depending on items being picked up, distance, etc.). Payment was through an online portal, with a link sent in the scheduling email. I had originally requested pickup before 12pm, as timing would have it, I was delayed and was still at my apartment when the driver did arrive about 2 hours later. Everything worked out, the driver was very nice and was able to take my items (no paperwork to fill or was provided).
