Clearwater Cty Solid Waste Sta

Small county solid waste station out past town, used by homeowners, landscapers, and folks clearing out sheds. It’s the kind of place people from Orofino and surrounding areas drop by for regular trash, recycling, and yard debris. Expect a practical, no-frills setup rather than a big-city recycling center.

There’s a single entrance drive with a small attendant booth near the road, and traffic usually funnels in toward a few large roll-off containers and concrete drop-off bays. Vehicles pull up to the booth first, then move on to the appropriate pile or bin; larger trucks and trailers have room to maneuver but it isn’t a sprawling yard. The site looks like a working transfer station-gravel or paved pads, piles of brush or mixed materials, and signs marking where things go. Weekends and spring cleanup can get busy, so a short wait in line is common at peak times.
