Rainier Drop-Box Facility

The Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center (WARC) in Washington offers various recycling services, but has suspended its used cooking oil and plastic foam recycling programs due to new guidelines and legal restrictions. Residents are advised to solidify used cooking oil before disposal and to check the Household Hazardous Waste page for more details. The center is also exploring the development of a new transfer station in the southern part of the county to replace existing drop-box sites in Rainier and Rochester. Visitors are encouraged to secure their loads when transporting materials to the WARC, following Washington state laws, and to check the average traffic levels at the center to plan their visit efficiently. For curbside waste collection services, residents are directed to contact specific service providers based on their area of residence.
