Factoria Recycling & Transfer Station operates as King County’s primary recycling and waste management hub in Bellevue, handling everything from routine yard waste to hazardous materials that require specialized disposal. The facility processes thousands of tons annually and maintains a 4.3-star rating across nearly 300 reviews, reflecting consistent performance with Bellevue residents and contractors. Unlike private dumpster rental companies, Factoria functions as a public transfer station where you can drop off materials directly or arrange waste removal through affiliated services. They accept yard debris, leaves, branches, and other organic waste alongside properly categorized hazardous items—paint, batteries, electronics, and chemical containers. The operation serves the greater Bellevue area and accepts walk-in customers during posted hours. Their hazardous waste program addresses a genuine community need, since improper disposal of these materials carries legal consequences and environmental risks. For residents managing landscaping projects, home renovations, or household cleanouts, Factoria provides an accessible alternative to private haulers. Contact them at (206) 477-4466 to confirm current hours and material acceptance guidelines before visiting.
