Plan your trip to avoid waiting in long lines

Check out the new wait-line web cams at Seattle Public Utilities’ North Transfer Station and South Transfer Station.

Some other tips to follow:

  • Busiest times are Monday mornings as well as Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays generally have the least number of customer visits.
  • Commercial garbage collection truck traffic generally uses the station from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.

If you can, there are cheaper options to visiting the dump. Learn how to save yourself a trip.
