Know before you go! Junk Furniture Round-Up at Olympic View Transfer Station
Important things to consider if you're attending the event or visiting Olympic View Transfer Station on June 9:
Junk Furniture Round-Up is Sunday, June 9 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Olympic View Transfer Station near the Bremerton airport. The event is for Kitsap and North Mason County residents only.
We recommend that paying customers avoid Olympic View on June 9, if possible. Paying customers can expect longer than normal wait times. It will not be possible to make a quick "recycling run" because this event will occupy the lane to the recycling area. (See our traffic flow map below.)
Be Prepared
Don’t bring other stuff. If you bring other trash or recycling, you will have to pay for your entire load (including junk furniture).

Stay with your vehicle for safety and to prevent delays.
Bring water, sunscreen, and snacks.
No restroom available. Although there is a public restroom at the main building, it may not be possible to safely leave your vehicle without delaying the line.
Bring a reliable vehicle. If your vehicle breaks down, you may hold up the line. Tow trucks will not be able to easily enter the site during the event.
All furniture loads must be dumped by 4 p.m. Depending on wait times, we may turn away vehicles before 4 p.m. This is to make sure customers in line make it to the drop-off area by 4 p.m. Late vehicles will be routed into the “paying customer” lane.

Accepted Items: Mattresses, box springs, sofas, chairs, recliners, bookcases, entertainment centers, tables, desks, sleeper sofas, patio furniture, beds, dressers, file cabinets, baby furniture, etc.

The Value of Your Time
Wait times may be longer than one hour. If you don’t want to wait or can’t attend this event, please pay for disposal.
