Factoria Transfer Station
What is a transfer station?
A transfer station is a facility where garbage hauling companies, businesses and King County residents can bring their waste and recycling for handling.
Bow Lake Station
Before modern design advances, transfer stations were often called dumps, and were often just that - a place to dump your trash before it was taken to the landfill.
Older facilities are often open-air structures and lack odor control features.
Modern stations feature walled-in structures to contain air flow and retain odors primarily within the facility.
Misters are also used to suppress dust and odors. Non-toxic odor-eating enzymes
can also be added to the system to further reduce smells.
Older facilities rely heavily on large amounts of electrical power to properly light the sizable loading floor areas.
Today's stations utilize the power of natural light through the use of transparent materials in window and roofing panels to minimize electrical power use, saving energy and money.
Transfer stations are home to industrial machinery and heavy-duty vehicles unloading materials throughout the day.
Modern facilities reduce noise pollution from equipment and vehicles by using enclosed-structure designs, landscaping and setbacks. Additional features such as sound barriers reflect sound inward.
Newer stations feature additional space for compacting machines that allow trucks to carry more, reducing the total number of trips required to carry waste to the landfill each day.
Additional inbound and outbound lanes, as well as a larger drop off area, allow vehicles to move quickly to and from the site - reducing traffic congestion in the area.
Today's Stations
Seattle North Transfer Station
Modern stations are designed to fit the feel of their neighborhood and reflect their surroundings.
Buildings can look like business facilities or even community centers and offer neighborhood amenities.
Transfer stations play a central role in reducing a community's environmental impacts by reducing waste and increasing possibilities for product reuse.
Modern facilities focus on redirecting recyclable content from our waste streams and preventing hazardous materials from contaminating the environment.

Use of solar panels along the roof line, recycled building materials and eco-friendly fixtures at some facilities help create a carbon-neutral facility.
Compacting equipment reduces the number of trucks making trips to the landfill daily, reducing overall carbon emissions and transportation costs.
Dedicated space for recycling services prevents paper, glass, plastic, yard waste, scrap metal, wood, clothes, styrofoam and more from filling landfills and puts them back to use, reducing the need for raw material production.
Additional space provides options for safely handling waste during a major regional emergency, such as an earthquake.
Additional vehicle lanes, as well as a larger drop off area, reduce congestion on neighborhood streets.
Green stormwater infrastructure reduces runoff. Wheel sprays prevent trucks from carrying litter off-site.
Walking trails & sports courts are incorporated into design
Transfer stations serve as a resource to their communities.
From parks and public art displays to educational space and event venues, these facilities are integrated into the neighborhoods they serve.

Houghton Station
The Houghton Transfer Station was built nearly 60 years ago. It has outlived its useful life and lacks many of the amenities needed to address today's waste and community needs.
Stations built during that era were designed to only accept garbage. Today, our region recycles nearly 60% of its solid waste and diverts hazardous items from our landfills, protecting our soil and groundwater.
The Houghton Station currently lacks the space and design for basic modern needs, such as:
