Sanitary Disposal Inc is the local disposal site on S Hwy 395 north of Hermiston used by residents, contractors and farmers hauling larger loads. People bring trailers and pickup loads here when curbside pickup won’t handle the job.
There’s an entrance booth and a drive-up area where drivers check in before heading to the drop zones. Expect to cross a scale at some point-these places commonly charge by weight, so there’s usually a weigh-in or weigh-out. The yard is a working lot with gravel drives, piles or containers for different materials, and the usual dust and truck noise. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up, so allow a bit of extra time.

Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps so debris doesn’t fly out during the drive; loose material slows unloading and can get messy.
- Sort materials in the truck or trailer as much as possible (metal separate from wood and general trash) to speed up dumping and avoid extra trips.
- Avoid weekend afternoons during spring cleanup if possible-those are typically the busiest times and lines form quickly.
