Before You Load Up

## What the Renton Station Won't Take in the Garbage

Some items are banned from the garbage pit, need a separate recycling or hazardous-waste area, or aren't accepted at all. Sort these out before you go — or hand the whole pile to us and skip the sorting:

Corrugated cardboard (sort it out to recycle)C&D debris in dump trucks or dump trailers Major appliances Asbestos (needs Waste Clearance)Computers & monitors Fluorescent bulbs & tubes (mercury)Household hazardous waste

Cardboard is the Renton station's own sorting rule; the rest are King County's [disposal restrictions](https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dnrp/waste-services/garbage-recycling-compost/solid-waste-facilities/disposal-restrictions) for every station (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Not sure where an item goes? We handle appliances, e-waste, metal, and mixed loads every day and route each stream to the right place — [see how we recycle & donate >>](https://99junkremoval.com/eco-friendly-junk-removal-seattle/)

Getting There

## Directions & What to Expect

The Renton Recycling & Transfer Station sits just off NE 4th St, a few minutes east of downtown Renton and the I-405 corridor. Here's how a self-haul trip actually goes:

### Secure your load

Tie down and cover everything before you leave. King County charges a **$25 fee** for any load that arrives unsecured — a loose tarp can cost you.

### Weigh in, then dump

You're charged by weight, with a **$40.25 minimum**. Staff direct you to the tipping floor; you unload your own vehicle by hand.

### Mind the clock & the line

Weekends and late afternoons back up. If your load is over 25 ft of vehicle-plus-trailer, the Renton station can't take you — you'd be rerouted.

Do the Math

## What a DIY Dump Run Actually Costs

The transfer-station fee is only part of the bill. Add up the truck you don't own, the gas, the fee, the possible unsecured-load charge, and your Saturday standing in line — and the "free" dump run isn't. Here's the honest comparison:

### ✗ The DIY Renton dump run

- $40.25 King County minimum — more by weight
- +$25 if your load isn't tarped and secured
- Truck or trailer rental + gas (if you don't own one)
- You load it, drive it, unload it by hand
- Your Saturday morning — and the weekend line

### ✓ The 99 easy button

- $99 minimum, all-in — approved before we lift anything
- Labor, transport & disposal always included
- We do every bit of the lifting and loading
- Reusables donated, metal & e-waste recycled
- Same-day and next-day windows across the Valley

$99 minimum - free on-site or text-a-photo assessment - no hidden fees

Simple

### We Haul & Dispose

Our crew loads it, hauls it, and takes it to the right place — you never see the transfer station.

Where It Goes

## We Don't Just Dump It

A trip to the Renton station means everything goes in one pit. We work differently: reusable furniture and household goods go to charitable partners for a second life, appliances and metal go to recyclers, and e-waste goes to certified electronics recyclers. Because we sort loads right on the truck, only what genuinely can't be reused or recycled reaches the transfer station.

That's the part a self-haul trip can't do for you — [see our eco-friendly practices >>](https://99junkremoval.com/eco-friendly-junk-removal-seattle/)

Questions

## Renton Dump FAQ

How much does it cost to dump at the Renton transfer station?

King County charges a $40.25 minimum per trip, for up to 320 lbs, then by weight at $243.38 per ton for self-haul garbage. On Jan 1, 2027 those rise to $43.50 and $264.01. Rates change periodically, so confirm current fees on the [King County disposal-fees page](https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dnrp/waste-services/garbage-recycling-compost/solid-waste-facilities/disposal-fees). Prefer to skip it? We haul for a $99 minimum, all-in.

Do I have to cover my load?

Yes. King County adds a $25 fee for any load that arrives unsecured or untarped, per King County Code 10.12.040. Tie down and cover everything before you leave — or let us load and haul it so it's not your problem.

What are the Renton transfer station hours?

Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 5:00 pm; Saturday and Sunday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. Weekends and late afternoons are the busiest — expect a line.

What won't the Renton station take?

Corrugated cardboard has to be sorted out for recycling. King County stations also refuse C&D debris in dump trucks or dump trailers, major appliances, asbestos without clearance, computers and monitors, mercury-containing fluorescent bulbs and tubes, and hazardous waste. We handle appliances, e-waste, metal, and mixed loads and route each to the right place.

Where do I take paint and chemicals in Renton?

Not to the Renton station; it has no hazardous waste drop-off. King County's sites are Factoria in Bellevue (closed Mondays) and South County in Algona (closed Wednesdays), free for King County households. We also take paint, at $10 a gallon.

Is it cheaper to haul it myself or hire 99 Junk Removal?

For a small single item it can be close, but once you add truck rental, gas, the $40.25 minimum, a possible $25 unsecured-load fee, and your time loading and waiting in line, our $99-minimum full-service haul is usually the better deal — and we do all the lifting. Text a photo and we'll text you a price range. The crew gives you one firm price on site before we load.
