Everett & Snohomish County Dump — Transfer Station Hours, Fees & Rules

Snohomish County runs three recycling and transfer stations, including the Airport Road station (ARTS) in Everett, plus three rural drop boxes. The stations are open every day, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A small load costs $30 (up to 360 lbs) under the fees that rose on January 1, 2026, and recycling is free.

Two things catch people out: the County stopped taking yard waste in 2022, and the drop boxes are open only certain days. Here are the sites and the rules.
