Seattle’s Two Transfer Stations

How the Fees Work

What It Costs to Dump in Seattle

Seattle charges self-haul loads by weight, priced per ton, with a per-visit minimum of about a fifth of a ton (0.20 tons). That means even a small load is billed at the minimum, and a heavier load scales up from there.

It’s weight-based, not flat. You’re weighed in and out; your fee tracks the tonnage you drop.
There’s a per-visit minimum. Roughly 0.20 tons — small loads still pay it, so combining trips can help.
SPU rates, not King County’s. Seattle’s city rates are set separately from the county stations, so don’t assume a suburban price applies.
Rates change — check before you go. SPU updates its schedule periodically, so confirm the current per-ton rate and minimum on the city site.

Because SPU updates its rate schedule periodically, we don’t publish a live dollar figure here — check the current rate at seattle.gov before your trip. Our own price is always the same: a $99 minimum, all-in.

Before You Go

Making the Dump Run Yourself

If you’re hauling it to North or South Transfer Station yourself, a few things save time and money:

Cover and tie down your load. An open, unsecured load can draw an extra fee at the scale — and it’s the law on the way there.
Weekends and late afternoons are busiest. Mid-morning on a weekday is the shortest line.
Separate recycling and yard waste. Those go to different areas and can save you money.
Know what they won’t take: no liquids, wet paint, chemicals, asbestos, or hazardous waste in the garbage — the city runs separate household hazardous waste sites for those.

Do the Math

Haul It Yourself, or Let Us Do It?

For a couple of bags, the dump run is cheap and easy. But for a real cleanout — a garage, a move-out, heavy furniture — the “cheap” trip adds up fast once you count the loading, the weight-based fees, the gas, and your Saturday. Here’s the honest comparison.

✗ The DIY Dump Run

You load every heavy piece yourself — twice (into the truck, then out at the station)
You rent or borrow a truck if yours won’t fit it
Weight-based fees climb with every extra pound over the minimum
Gas, the drive across town, and the line — often more than one trip

✓ The 99 Way

You point; our crew does all the lifting and loading
One firm, all-in price — $99 minimum, approved before we start
Labor, transport, and disposal are all included — no per-pound surprises
We sort for donation and recycling, then sweep up before we leave

$99 minimum • we load it • one price, no per-pound math

Questions

Seattle Dump FAQ

Where is the Seattle dump?

Seattle has two city transfer stations: the North Transfer Station at 1350 N 34th St (Wallingford) and the South Transfer Station at 130 S Kenyon St (South Park). Both take household garbage, yard waste, and recycling.

How much does it cost to dump in Seattle?

Seattle charges self-haul loads by weight, priced per ton, with a per-visit minimum of about 0.20 tons — so even small loads pay the minimum. These are Seattle Public Utilities rates, set separately from King County’s stations, and they change periodically, so confirm the current rate at seattle.gov before you go.

Are Seattle’s stations the same as King County’s?

No. Seattle runs its own stations through Seattle Public Utilities with its own rate schedule. The King County transfer stations in the suburbs charge different, county-set fees, so don’t assume a suburban price applies at North or South Transfer Station.

What are the transfer station hours?

Both the North and South Transfer Stations are generally open daily, roughly 8:00am–5:30pm. Hours can change around holidays, so confirm the current schedule with SPU at (206) 684-8400 before your trip.

Should I haul it myself or hire 99 Junk Removal?

For a couple of bags, the dump run is cheap. For a real cleanout, we’re often the easier call: you point, we lift and load, and it’s one all-in price starting at a $99 minimum — no per-pound fees, no truck rental, no Saturday spent in line. Call (253) 722-4285 or text a photo for a free estimate.
