Restrictions: Hazardous Materials

Household hazardous materials can be disposed of safely in King County free of charge.  Please refer to the two disposal options listed below.

Two Disposal Options  

Wondering what to do with those cans of old paint, thinner, or weed killer rusting away in your garage? Bring them either to the Factoria Transfer Station Household Hazardous Waste Storage Locker or to the Household Hazardous Wastemobile. There is no charge to dispose of your household hazardous wastes. The size limit is a 5-gallon container or smaller. The daily limit is 50 gallons per vehicle. If what you have exceeds either the size or quantity limit, you should call 206-296-4692 to get prior approval for a drop-off or for other disposal options.  Customers will not get their containers back at the Factoria facility.  To avoid delays, if possible go during weekdays or in the mornings.  Please keep products in original containers or label them if they are not. For more information please call the Household Hazards Line at 206-296-4692 or visit its website at www.govlink.org/hazwaste/house/disposal/.
