Outside Seattle limits? King County household hazardous waste is the suburban / county program.
Mattress, bulky, HHW, and e-waste — the city rules residents actually search.
Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Seattle residents typically take mattresses to city transfer stations or use a hauler bulky service. Transfer stations do NOT accept household hazardous waste — use North/South HHW facilities for chemicals.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
King County residents (including Seattle) can drop household hazardous waste free at North HHW (12550 Stone Avenue North; Sun–Tue 9 a.m.–5 p.m.) or South HHW (8100 2nd Ave S; Thu–Sat 9 a.m.–5 p.m.). No appointment needed. Closed July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Transfer stations do not accept HHW. Alternatives: Factoria HHW in Bellevue; Wastemobile events; Household Hazards Line (206) 296-4692.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.

Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris needs a transfer-station or debris-box pathway — not HHW facilities and not food/yard carts. Keep paint/chemicals for North/South HHW.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Use Seattle food & yard waste carts for yard trimmings — not recycling. Follow SPU contamination rules.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Seattle recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. Seattle Public Utilities — Food & Yard Waste is the official Seattle program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
