Recreational Vehicle Recycling/Disposal Program

Recycling and disposing of an unwanted recreational vehicle (RV) can be a difficult and time consuming task. Snohomish County’s Solid Waste Environmental Cleanup Team (ECUP) offers a service for the recycling and disposal of unwanted campers, travel trailers, boats, and/or boat trailers.   Follow the steps below to initiate the RV recycling/disposal process.

 Am I the legal landowner? 

• Yes – then proceed to the next question.
• No – then please stop this process and have the legal landowner initiate the procedure to remove junk vehicles.
  
  

 Is the RV registered in my name? 

• Yes - I am the property owner and I have the title to the RV.
  
  • Please fill out the Junk Vehicle Affidavit Inspection Request Form.
  • When finished, save a copy of the form for your records.
  • Open your email program and attach the request form to a new email. Send the email to: SPW-ECUP@snoco.org
  • ECUP staff will process the form and contact you to schedule a time for you to bring your RV in for recycling/disposal.
    
    
• Yes - I am the property owner, but have lost the title to the RV.
  
  • Note the license plate and vehicle identification number (VIN), take that information to your local vehicle licensing agent’s office, and request an Affidavit in Lieu of Title. Bring this document to your ECUP appointment (to be scheduled in the next step).
  • Next, fill out the Junk Vehicle Affidavit Inspection Request Form.
  • When finished, save a copy of the form for your records.
  • Open your email program and attach the request form to a new email. Send the email to: SPW-ECUP@snoco.org
  • ECUP staff will process the form and contact you to schedule a time for you to bring your RV in for recycling/disposal.
    
    
• No - I am the property owner, but the RV is not registered in my name.
  
  • Fill out the Junk Vehicle Affidavit Inspection Request Form.
  • When finished, save a copy of the form for your records.
  • Open your email program and attach the request form to a new email. Send the email to: SPW-ECUP@snoco.org
  • ECUP staff will process the form and contact you to schedule a time to visit your property to perform a vehicle inspection.
  • Depending on the results of the inspection, ECUP staff will instruct you on how to proceed with the recycling/disposal of the RV.
