Cedar Hills Regional Landfill on 228th Avenue SE in Maple Valley is the large county landfill that both homeowners and commercial haulers use when trash needs to be buried. It’s a big operation with tipping fees charged by weight, and it accepts commercial loads as well as residential drop-offs.
You'll cross a scale on the way in and again on the way out since charges are by weight, so expect that extra stop. There is an entrance booth where vehicles line up, then lanes that direct drivers to where to dump; follow the traffic flow and posted signs. The site is expansive-lots of heavy equipment, trucks, and visible mounds of compacted material-plus separate spots for yard waste and recyclables, which Washington encourages separating ahead of time. Weekends, especially spring cleanup season, often have the longest lines.
