Olympic View Transfer Station Closed to All Customers
Due to an equipment malfunction, Olympic View Transfer Station is closed to all customers until further notice.
A catastrophic failure of the compactor at the Olympic View Transfer Station has drastically reduced the amount of waste that can be processed through the facility. As a result, the facility is at capacity and unable to accept more waste. The operator of the facility, Waste Management, is working diligently with their vendors to get the compactor back in operation, while trying to clear waste from the building.
Recycling and Garbage Facilities
The County’s three Recycling and Garbage Facilities (Olalla, Hansville, and Silverdale) rely on the Olympic View Transfer Station for disposal of materials and are impacted by this event. These smaller facilities are open at this time. However, they may reach capacity or close during operational hours.
Only small loads of garbage, up to three yards, are accepted at the Recycling and Garbage Facilities. Larger loads will be turned away.
Mason County residents may visit the nearby garbage disposal facility in Belfair. Pierce County residents may visit the nearby Purdy Transfer Station.
If you can postpone your dump trip, please do so. Thank you for your understanding and patience. We apologize for the inconvenience.
This is an emerging situation and facility operations may change rapidly. Please continue to check back for more information before visiting a facility.
