Recycling Resources

The City of Federal Way has drop-off sites for items that are not accepted in curbside recycling. This helps to keep products out of the landfill and these resources are offered for free. If you are unsure if an item is recyclable or where to take larger items, download or use our Recycle Coach for helpful tips!

 

Cooking Oil Dropoff

Used cooking oil can now be dropped off at the collection site at French Lake Dog Park! Bring your used cooking oil and put in the black collection container. Jugs coated in oil should be thrown away or taken back home and reused. This location is for cooking oil only. Map to French Lake Dog Park: https://maps.app.goo.gl/htKm84bhKBUN5Fj6A
