Due to construction for the much-needed expansion at the Wastewater Treatment Facility, the recycling center at the end of State Street will need to close temporarily through the summer.  The recycling area will shut down the week of June 15 and remain closed through at least September.

In the meantime, recycling options are available nearby at 314 27th St N in Puyallup (behind the Elks Lodge off East Main Street, just southwest of Sumner).

Other options include DM Disposal’s facility at 70th Ave East off Levy Rd in Fife. This site closes at 3:00 pm Monday thru Friday, and is open on weekends, limited to when staff is present. Second, Bonney Lake offers two glass only areas, one at Allan Yorke Park – Ball field #4 parking lot in the 19400 block of Bonney Lake Blvd E and the Justice Center’s gravel parking lot at  18411 89th St E, open daily 8 a.m.–8 p.m.

Another option is the Pierce County Transfer Stations with more information here.

Construction also means that access to the shed for the Bonney Good Sumner Grow soil amendment will also be temporarily closed.  The City of Sumner will continue to provide truck deliveries.
