Asotin County Landfill in Clarkston is the county's municipal landfill for household and larger loads. Locals, landscapers and haulers use it as the final drop for trash that can't be recycled or composted. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than anything fancy.
There’s an entrance area with a booth and a scale; weight-based tipping fees are the norm so vehicles usually stop twice - in and out. Drive lanes lead up to the active cell and cover areas, with piles and equipment plainly visible from the road. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so some waiting is common. In Washington, yard debris and recyclables are often separated at facilities, so representatives at the gate may direct where certain materials go.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Separate yard waste and recyclables at the yard or truck before coming - Washington facilities commonly expect this and it speeds things up.
- Secure and tarp loads to prevent loose material falling onto the road; loose debris creates extra hassle and can slow everyone down.
- Be prepared to stop on the scale and then again after unloading; allow extra time on weekends or during seasonal cleanups when traffic is heavier.
