Service Costs
The Wastemobile is funded through a surcharge on solid waste disposal and wastewater discharge. Although the average cost is over $75 per person, residents bringing material to the Wastemobile are not charged a fee on site. This cost premium underscores the importance of making waste prevention our top priority.
Safe Handling
- Don't mix products.
- Keep products in their original containers. (At the Factoria household hazardous waste drop-off site, gasoline containers are not returned to the customers.)
- Label products that aren’t in their original containers.
- Secure products so they can’t tip over and/or leak.
- Transport similar, sealed containers upright, in cardboard boxes.
- Secure the load in a vehicle or trailer. Vehicles arriving at public or private transfer stations in King County with unsecured loads can be charged an unsecured load fee.
- Store products away from the passenger compartment and separate waste products from those that will be retained.
- Stay in the vehicle while waste is unloaded at the Wastemobile and the Auburn Supermall Wastemobile.
