Where to Dispose of Household Hazardous Waste
Seattle has two household hazardous waste facilities that are free for Seattle residents. These are separate facilities from the Transfer Stations, and the Transfer Stations do not accept household hazardous waste. No appointment is needed. Hazardous waste is accepted from eligible businesses. Find out if your business is eligible.
