Fixed Disposal Sites

There are several fixed household hazardous waste collection sites for safe disposal of hazardous waste in Seattle and King County. In addition to these three sites, the Wastemobile travels to different areas of King County throughout the year.

NOTE: none of these locations accept commercial hazardous wastes. See the Small Business Waste pages for more information about commercial waste exchange and disposal. All fixed facility sites are closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
