Caton Landfill

Caton Landfill is the local dump that folks from Selah and nearby areas use when trash can't be recycled or composted. It's a working landfill site out on Naches Wenas Road, mostly visited by homeowners clearing the garage and by heavier hauls from contractors. Expect a plain, practical place rather than anything fancy.

There’s a drive-up entrance with a weigh scale where loads are measured and fees are calculated by weight, so vehicles usually pull forward twice-once in and once out. A small entrance booth and traffic flow direct vehicles toward the tipping face and the covered disposal areas; the site looks like large earth mounds and compacted areas, not a tidy yard. Recycling and yard waste separation is common in Washington, so see signs or bins nearby and be prepared to separate those materials before getting in line. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have a line, so expect some waiting when it’s busy.
