Busy holiday weekend and scrap metal restrictions

Holiday weekends are among the busiest times at our waste and recycling facilities. Expect longer than normal wait times. The heaviest traffic is typically between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Due to our scrap metal hauler's holiday schedule, we may unexpectedly close the scrap metal containers at Olympic View Transfer Station and Silverdale Recycling and Garbage Facility sometime between Friday, Nov. 29 and Monday, Dec. 2.

If the containers are closed when you arrive, please do not leave your scrap metal on the ground. Pay for disposal, wait until the following week, or take it to a private scrap metal recycler instead.
