After complaints, county shuts down DTG's Maltby recycling facility

SNOHOMISH — After not obtaining proper permits from the county for over a year, recycling company DTG can no longer operate its facility near Maltby, under a new ruling issued by the Snohomish County hearing examiner.

The findings validated a slew of complaints from neighbors about DTG. For months, residents reported issues about escalated noise, dust and traffic at the 18827 Yew Way site.

By July 15, DTG must stop accepting material at the site. Two years from now, the company also needs to remove stockpiles of materials there.

DTG staff need to apply and obtain proper permits and certificates for unpermitted buildings and land-disturbing activity on the site, in addition to closing its recycling facility, county Hearing Examiner Peter Camp determined. The company has until fall 2024 to obtain proper permits, or else remove the buildings.
