Jefferson County Solid Waste

7 S Idaho St Seattle WA 98134 USA

**Jefferson County Public Works** manages the county-wide solid waste program, offering disposal options at the Transfer Station outside of Port Townsend and the Drop Box in Quilcene. They accept a wide range of materials, from regular household garbage to construction debris, used oil, antifreeze, and even creosote pilings. However, starting December 1, 2024, glass will no longer be recycled in Jefferson County, and glass recycle bins will be removed, with glass accepted as trash. Residents can dispose of household hazardous waste at the Kitsap County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, providing an alternative for those awaiting the next HHW Collection Event. The Solid Waste Facility Replacement Planning Project seeks public input, with opportunities to share opinions and follow the work of the Solid Waste Facilities Task Force. The program is funded by tipping fees, with service levels balanced to maintain current fees. Visitors can access more information on the Hazardous Waste page, Recycling page, and Household Hazardous Waste page for details on services, materials accepted, and upcoming events.

301 County Landfill Rd Port Townsend WA 98368 USA

Don't bag your recyclables as it causes sorting issues and can lead to recyclables being sent to the landfill. Keep recyclables loose in your bin and ensure they are empty, clean, and dry. Accepted items include cardboard, paper, plastic bottles, metal cans, glass bottles, and certain plastics, while items like food, liquids, plastic bags, takeout containers, batteries, and hazardous waste should be kept out. Cleaning recyclables helps maintain their value and prevents contamination. Recycling facilities sort out non-recyclables, but it's important to avoid putting non-recyclable items in the bin to ensure the materials can be properly recycled. Check local recycling guidelines for specific instructions on what can be recycled in your area. Remember to keep your recycling cart closed to prevent contamination from rain or snow.
