Submitted by the City of Olympia
Due to a decline in participation and increased cost of collection, the City of Olympia will not be conducting Spring Recycle Days this year. However, if you are unable to dispose of items yourself, Waste ReSources is available to pick-up bulky items. There is a fee of $25 for the first item and $10 for any additional items. Below are resources to help you dispose of hard to recycle items.
Tires
Contact your local tire retailer for disposal. Call first, fee may apply.
Metals and Other Recyclables
The City of Olympia Waste ReSources offers the Saturday Drop-off Site to recycle non-appliance and clean scrap metal. Items such as tools, fencing, wheels, posts, water tanks, wire, car parts or outdoor furniture are accepted. Please visit our website for more information at olympiawa.gov/satdropoff.
Porcelain
