​Disposal instructions depend on the type of boat you have: metal or fiberglass.


Recycle

Metal Boats

Contact a scrap metal recycler or auto wrecker to ask about recycling your metal boat. Kitsap County facilities do not recycle metal boats because they are too large for our scrap metal containers.

Fiberglass Boats
