A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Sofas and chairs are on the Recology on-call bulky rate and are collected from the curb, and the King County station takes furniture as garbage while sending good quality furniture and framed mirrors to the reuse area outside the station.

City cost & eligibility
From $27.11 per item for sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs in the published Recology curbside on-call rate table, with service charges and disposal or recycling fees applying on top. Recology residential customers in Shoreline, with the piece placed at the curb for the collection. A household hauling the furniture to the King County station instead pays the station garbage rate, and reusable furniture in good condition may be accepted at the Second Use collection area outside the station.
When & how
Call Recology on 206-763-4444 or book online and put the piece where the carts are collected on the confirmed day, or take it to the King County station at 2300 N 165th Street during the posted hours.
Get it ready
Empty drawers and cushions, keep the piece dry, and keep it clear of the carts so the collection crew can reach it. Ask at the station about the Second Use area before dumping furniture that is still in good condition, because a reusable piece can be donated there instead of landfilled.

Other bulky and oversized items

Accepted with preparation

Household junk rides the garbage rate at the King County Shoreline station by weight, tires recycle there in the tire bins up to four per customer, and Recology books a curbside on-call bulky collection for anything that does not fit a cart.

City cost & eligibility
From $40.25 for the King County garbage fee at the Shoreline station, where a load up to 320 pounds costs $40.25 as the minimum and heavier loads are charged $243.38 per ton, while recyclables including scrap metal and up to four tires are taken at no charge. Any customer bringing household material to the Shoreline station, with recyclables separated into the marked bins, and a Recology on-call bulky collection as the curbside alternative for residential customers.
When & how
Take the load to 2300 N 165th Street and sort the recyclables at the bins, or call Recology on 206-763-4444 to arrange an on-call bulky collection at the curb.
Get it ready
Sort corrugated cardboard, clean wood, scrap metal and yard waste into the recycling areas because they are not accepted as garbage at this station, secure the load so the county does not charge its unsecured load fee, and check the vehicle length limit of forty feet before arriving with a trailer. Household hazardous material and major vehicle parts are refused. Liquids have to be sealed in a container and are limited to one case or five gallons per visit, and compressed gas tanks have to arrive completely empty at two gallons or less, or five gallons or less for helium.

Bulky items and special items are booked, not left

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Shoreline.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Shoreline?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

Will Recology take my couch in Shoreline?

Yes, as an on-call bulky collection. Recology publishes a per item rate for sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs, collected from the same spot where your carts go, booked on 206-763-4444 or through the scheduling page. If you would rather haul it, the King County Shoreline station takes furniture as garbage by weight, and good quality furniture, framed mirrors and dressers can be offered to the Second Use collection area outside the station.Official guidance

What can I take to the Shoreline transfer station?

Household garbage by weight, furniture, mattresses and box springs for recycling at a per item fee, major appliances for recycling including refrigerant units at a per unit fee, up to four tires per customer in the tire bins, scrap metal, corrugated cardboard, clean wood, yard waste and ordinary recyclables, with recyclables free of charge. Televisions, computers and other electronics are refused, appliances are not accepted as ordinary disposal, and the county adds an unsecured load fee to a load that is not tied down.Official guidance

What does a bulky item pickup cost in Shoreline?

The Recology curbside on-call service is published per item, so a couch, chair, mattress or box spring has one listed rate, a refrigerator or freezer has a higher rate because of the refrigerant, and other white goods have their own figure, with service charges and disposal or recycling fees on top. Hauling to the King County station instead is priced by material and weight: mattress recycling and refrigerant appliances carry per item fees, recyclables are free, and a mixed load of household garbage pays a minimum up to a weight limit and a per ton rate above it. Confirm which route you are using before anything is set out.Official guidance

Who do I call about garbage, recycling or a bulky pickup in Shoreline?

Recology King County handles the curbside service on 206-763-4444 or shoreline@recology.com, and a missed collection has to be reported within 24 hours so the material can be picked up on the next business day. The King County solid waste information line is 206-477-4466 for the Shoreline station and its rules, the station itself is on 2300 N 165th Street, and the Recology Store on Aurora Avenue takes hard to recycle items on 206-417-3877.Official guidance
