Solid Waste Facility
Kootenai County Solid Waste
15580 W Prairie Ave, Post Falls, ID 83854
(208) 446-1430This is Kootenai County's solid waste site out on W Prairie Ave in Post Falls, used by local homeowners and small haulers dropping off household trash, yard debris and recyclables. Neighbors swing by with pickup loads or trailers, especially during yard cleanup season.
Drive up the long access road off Prairie Ave and look for a small entrance booth and a few lanes to pull into; workers usually direct traffic when it's busy. Recycling bins and yard-waste drop areas are off to one side, with open tipping areas and roll-off containers for general trash. Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads and be prepared to sort materials into separate piles as you go. Weekends, and spring cleanup weekends in particular, tend to get backed up, so expect lines and some waiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads so debris doesn’t blow out while driving or waiting in line.
- Sort recyclables and yard waste into separate piles before arriving to speed up the drop-off.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible-late weekday afternoons or midweek are usually less crowded.
