Closed Friday:
Open Friday:
Postpone your visit if possible. We are increasing trash haul-out service at open facilities to accommodate increased customers and trash, but may reach capacity and periodically turn away customers.
Mason County customers should use a transfer station in Mason County. The Belfair Drop Box is limiting to maximum 6 trash cans or 2 yards trash per customer until further notice. The Eells Hill Transfer Station can accommodate larger loads. Pierce County customers should use a transfer station in Pierce County.
Pickup service providers plan to operate normally
At this time, all waste pickup service providers plan to operate normally on Friday, April 8. This could change. Continue to check your provider's webpage for updates:
WM/ Brem-Air
City of Poulsbo
City of Bainbridge Island
What happened?
A catastrophic failure of the garbage compactor at the Olympic View Transfer Station has drastically reduced the amount of waste that can be processed. The facility is processing waste as quickly as possible, but needed to reduce incoming trash in order to keep up.
WM, the contracted operator of the facility, is working diligently with their vendors to get the compactor back in operation, while trying to clear waste from the building. Repairs are underway.
Waste pickup service providers rely on Olympic View Transfer Station for disposal and have been affected by the closure.
