Residents were thanked by SPU for utilising alternate locations for recycling drop-off and for enduring the inconvenience caused by the temporary closure. According to SPU, consumer cooperation enabled it to carry out planned renovations and lessen traffic congestion.

Customers are asked to sort and secure loads before arriving, check the station's website for the schedule and list of accepted materials, and use the "Where Does It Go?" tool appropriately to obtain all necessary information about facility operations in order to maintain the station's seamless services.

Additionally, it reminded residents that they must take C&D items to approved recycling facilities like DTG Hudson St., MCS Recycling, or DTG Renton. These facilities include asphalt, concrete, bricks, metal, untreated wood, and gypsum waste.
