Columbia Resource Company

Columbia Resource Company in Washougal is the local spot people use to drop off household and yard rubbish. Handy for neighbors who are cleaning out a garage or hauling brush, it sits on Grant Street near the industrial area and looks like a working transfer site rather than a storefront. Expect a practical, no-frills place used by residents and small contractors alike.

There’s an entrance lane with a small booth where transactions are handled, and drive-up bays and containers spread out across a gravel/asphalt yard. Vehicles pull up, get directed to the right pile or container, and then leave after stopping back at the booth; larger trucks will have more space to maneuver. Signs and painted lanes point toward recycling and yard-waste areas-Washington requires separating those, so have them pre-sorted. Weekends and spring cleanups can stack traffic, so plan for a short wait if it’s a Saturday or a holiday weekend.
