Curbside recycling is an add-on you set up by calling D.M. Disposal, and glass stays out of it. Hidden Valley Transfer Station at 17925 Meridian Street E, run by LRI, is open every day for dump runs, yard waste, and recycling, with hazardous waste drop-off on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Puyallup have curbside recycling?
Yes, but you arrange it yourself by calling D.M. Disposal at 253-414-0347. Pierce County's curbside list takes metal food cans, beer and soda cans, aluminum foil and pie plates, flattened corrugated cardboard, cereal and cracker boxes, milk and soup cartons, paperback books, magazines, mail, and envelopes with plastic windows left in. Glass bottles and jars go to a glass drop-off, not the curbside container.
Where do I recycle glass in Puyallup?
Take bottles and jars to the City's glass drop-off at the Elks Lodge, 314 27th Street NE. Pierce County's curbside list sends glass bottles and jars to drop-off sites instead of the recycling container. D.M. Disposal's drop-off at 70th Avenue E and N Levee Road is the other City-listed recycling center.
Where do I take household hazardous waste in Puyallup?
Puyallup residents get free household hazardous waste drop-off at two sites. Hidden Valley Transfer Station, 17925 Meridian Street E, takes it Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center, 3510 S Mullen St, takes it Friday through Monday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Rechargeable batteries, propane tanks, sharps, partly full aerosol cans, and CFL bulbs all go here. Neither site takes business waste.
What does it cost to dump garbage at Hidden Valley in Puyallup?
Pierce County's March 1, 2026 rates charge a $39.06 minimum for loads of 400 pounds or less and $195.32 per ton above that, plus Washington's 3.6% refuse tax. With the tax included, LRI posts $40.50 and $202.35. Loads containing blackberries, ivy, or other noxious weeds pay an extra fee. Pay with a credit or debit card or cash; checks are refused.
Can I dump yard waste at Hidden Valley Transfer Station in Puyallup?
Yes. Yard waste loads under 1 ton are free for every Pierce County resident and business, and loads of 1 ton or more cost $115 per ton plus state refuse tax. Hidden Valley weighs you in and out, and you must unload the whole load before you leave. Keep unloading time under 30 minutes.
When are the Puyallup spring and fall cleanup weeks?
Puyallup runs three free cleanups a year for City utility customers: Spring Cleanup, Fall Cleanup, and Treecycling in January. During the spring and fall weeks, set up to 3 extra containers of garbage, extra yard waste, and 1 major appliance at the curb on your regular day. On Treecycling day, leave your Christmas tree at the curb. D.M. Disposal prints the dates on your bill.
Recycling tips for Puyallup
•Garbage pickup skips Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day and runs one day late the rest of that week, unless the holiday falls on a weekend.
•Pierce County points metal lids to the scrap metal collection at the Hidden Valley Recycle Center, and wire hangers to donation or a scrap metal recycler.
•Take leftover paint to a PaintCare drop-off.
•Pringles cans and juice concentrate cans count as cardboard cans on Pierce County's list, so they go in curbside recycling.
•Pierce County's transfer station rates do not apply at the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center, which sets its own prices.
