Free storm debris drop-off resumes during select weekends

Dec. 13, 2024

The King County Solid Waste Division is pleased to announce that our operations teams have been able to clear adequate space at our stations to allow free collection of storm debris to resume at select stations during three upcoming weekends:

• December 14-15
• December 21-22
• January 11-12

King County residents can drop off tree limbs, and other woody debris for free at the Bow Lake, Enumclaw, Factoria, and Shoreline during these periods. Yard debris brought to all other transfer station facilities will be charged the standard fee.

The free service is exclusively for wood debris from the recent storms. Stumps, logs and limbs no longer than six feet in length are allowed – no grass clippings, sod or soil will be accepted. These events are open to all King County residents. People visiting recycling and transfer stations are reminded to secure their loads.

Customers must live or do business within King County's 37-city and unincorporated service area to use these solid waste facilities, including the free storm yard waste disposal. More information is available on the Solid waste facilities site, or by calling 206-477-4466.

More information about King County’s response to last month’s storm is available through King County's Emergency News website. 

King County’s service area does not include the cities of Seattle or Milton. Contact your local government for service information if you live in Pierce County, Snohomish County, the City of Seattle, or the City of Milton.
