LRI Purdy Transfer

This site is a transfer station for commercial and household waste.

For rates, please see our Rates page.  

The Pierce County composting facility is also located here.  We are producers of a high quality compost called P.R.E.P. (Pierce County Recycled Earth Products). It provides extensive capacity for processing organic wastes into products at a competitive price. The environmental and management controls built into the Compost Factory assure that this compost facility can be a good neighbor with the community that generate these wastes, and demand these products.

Purdy Transfer Station is now a collection site for Bikes for Kids. This meaningful initiative provides bicycles to children in need and to homeless or low-income adults who rely on bikes for essential transportation.

We are currently accepting aluminum-frame bikes that are in good, rideable condition in our recycle area. For more information, please visit our Community Involvement tab.

For your safety, please follow these guidelines when visiting our facilities:

• Un-tarp your load prior to crossing the scales. Due to limited space, un-tarping in the transfer building is a safety hazard
• Turn off your cell phone
• Keep children and pets in vehicle
• No smoking
• Watch for moving vehicles
• Use extreme caution
• Follow directions from station staff
• Please limit unloading time to 30 minutes maximum
