Moderate Risk Waste Facility

Household Batteries

Alkaline household batteries (A, AA, AAA, C, D, etc.) are not hazardous and can be disposed of in your regular trash. 

Rechargeable Batteries

For locations that recycle rechargeable batteries (commonly found in cordless power tools, cellular and cordless phones, laptop computers, camcorders, digital cameras, and remote control toys), visit the call2recycle website. 

The Moderate Risk Waste Facility at the Regional Transfer Station, Home Depot, and Around Again will accept rechargeable batteries.

Fluorescent Tubes

As of January 1, 2015, Washington state residents can recycle fluorescent lights and other mercury-containing lights at no charge.

The main categories of lights accepted for recycling by the LightRecycle Washington program are fluorescent tubes (straight or curved), compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), and high intensity discharge lights (HIDs). The program does not accept lighting fixtures or ballasts.

LightRecycle Washington is funded by an environmental handling charge, or “EHC”. An EHC of $0.25 per light will be added to all mercury-containing lights sold at retail stores in Washington state.

Call Leyton Evans at (360) 417-4873 to schedule an appointment. Appointments are Saturday's only, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Do not try and drop off asbestos materials at the facility until your appointment is confirmed. 

Step 2: Prepare materials

Materials must be wet upon delivery. Wet materials with water or a suitable non-hazardous wetting agent before bagging. All Other Asbestos-Containing Materials: 

• Double wrap in sturdy, leak-proof plastic bags (6 mil minimum thickness).
• Seal each bag at the top, with duct tape and place into another leak-proof plastic bag (6 mil minimum thickness) and seal the outer bag in the same manner as the inner bag. Bags must not weigh over 50 pounds each. NOTE: If larger pieces will not fit in a bag, double wrap the wet materials in heavy plastic sheeting (6 mil minimum thickness), and seal the package with duct tape.
• Customer must lift each package into a container without assistance from staff.

Step 3: Attach label

Label each bag of asbestos-containing material with one of the attached asbestos labels unless you have a prelabeled bag. Print your labels.

Step 4: Deliver

Once you have a confirmed appointment. Bring the asbestos-containing material to City of Port Angeles Transfer Station, located at 3501 W. 18th Street, Port Angeles, WA. The packaging and labeling will be reviewed and once approved, the asbestos materials can then be offload into a properly designated box. Be prepared to complete additional paperwork onsite and to pay current asbestos disposal fees.
