Everett Transfer Station To Close For Repairs

The south Everett Station near Paine Field (don’t call it a dump) will be closing for three weeks later this month for repairs. That means alternate plans if you haul your own garbage or have a big winter clean up project planned in the near future. The recycling station will remain open. Here’s what you need to know to make plans…

The Snohomish County Public Works Solid Waste Division will temporarily close the Airport Road Recycling and Transfer Station (ARTS) on January 23 through February 12, 2017. During the three week closure, repairs will be made to the compactors and tipping floor. The recycling area will remain open during regular hours throughout the closure, however, yard waste will not be accepted.

For the duration of the ARTS closure, the Cathcart Way Temporary Transfer Station (8915 Cathcart Way, Snohomish, WA 98296) will be open for commercial haulers and mechanical unload/hydraulic dump style vehicles only. Recycling will not be available at the Cathcart site. Customers who wish to unload their garbage and/or recycling by hand will need to use the Southwest Recycling and Transfer Station (SWRTS) in Mountlake Terrace or the North County Recycling and Transfer Station (NCRTS) in Arlington. ARTS will reopen on Monday, February 13 at 7 a.m. The repairs are funded by transfer station customer fees.
