I Came Here On Purpose...and They Blew It!…read more With gas pushing $6 per gallon, I decided to explore a closer scrap yard option instead of driving all the way to Kent. So I came to The Recycling Depot deliberately -- on purpose -- to compare their prices against other yards in the Seattle area. I left knowing one thing for certain: they don't know what fair pricing looks like. They paid me $0.03/lb for steel. That's right -- three cents. My load was 700 lbs of steel, and they handed me $21.00 for it. That same steel would've been worth around $42 elsewhere (or more depending on the yard). Add in stainless, aluminum, and brass, and my total ticket came to $31.25. Laughable. For comparison, Binford Metal Recycling in Kent would've paid me double on steel alone. That's $21 straight out of my pocket they basically stole -- and that's just one metal. The difference on a full load like mine? Easily $50-$60. Real money. Real loss. And the worst part? No transparency. No explanation. Just: weighed it, printed it, paid you, next. If you don't know scrap prices, you'll get taken. If you do, you'll never return. They failed the test. I came prepared, and they got exposed. I won't be back -- and neither should you!

The employees are stern but patient (with even the most obnoxious customers) and they remember names and faces. The fabric store behind the scrap metal place is owned by the same local family. The waiting area of the office is tiny and features a row of seats salvaged from Seattle's Kingdome.

First visit. I had a scrap auto part and had read it was worth some coin, so I brought it in to…read morePacific Surprised to find the yard on a busy street near the ballparks: convenient! Almost hidden in plain sight. Yards get a bad rap for trying to rip people off. Not in my one experience: I got what Google said was being paid for the part and weight. I had visited yards with my dad long ago: some of the fun was seeing what people discarded. But here they pretty much removed the scap immediately: about as clean as one could imagine for such a business. A bit overwhelming for a first-timer. Now that I know the ropes, I could be smoother and maybe give the extra star (note: 5 stars is Far Exceeding expectations, involving walking on water. 4 is above average and is a great score. 3 is what a run of the mill experience gets)

I happened to lose my direction driving to MCS Recycling which has almost an exact street address as Eastmont Transfer Station but at opposite end; "W" instead of "E" street designator (7201 E Marginal Way). Upon driving to this station, I parked then walked up the ramp to knock on the office for verification & help. There was a young lady working in the office and her name is Savanna. Upon learning of my problems of having a malfunctioned phone/GPS using Waze for direction, Savanna quickly showed me the directions to get to MCS Recycling. Just to make sure I would not forget her instructions, Savanna also printed out a paper copy for me to take with me! She helped me regardless of whether I was a customer of her business or not! I can't say enough good things about Savanna but wanted to share to the public of how nice Savanna was to me and it says great thing about Eastmont Transfer Station management regarding the quality and attitude of the people that they hired to represent them days in days out! Thank you Savanna & Eastmont Transfer Station management for your very kind help!! Skip

There is also a location in North Seattle. Hours are limited to Thurs-Sat. Again, check website for latest hours as they may fluctuate. Can be busy on weekends, especially in AM. They used to have a free re-use selection but there were literal brawls over the stuff from pickers and Craigslist flippers, so they (thankfully) shut down that clown show.
