Ephrata Landfill
Ephrata Landfill, 3803 Neva Lake Road, NW, Ephrata, 98823, Washington
Ephrata Landfill on Neva Lake Road is the local spot where trash from around Ephrata gets buried. Neighbors bring everything from small household loads to bigger truck drops, so it’s used by both residents and commercial haulers.
There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale-landfills like this commonly charge by weight, so plan to stop on the way in and again on the way out. The site is open with dirt lanes and heavy equipment moving piles around; drivers will be routed to a tipping area. Landfills of this type accept residential and commercial loads and operate with a tipping-fee structure based on weight or volume. Busy times, especially spring cleanup weekends, can lead to lines and slower unloading.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort yard debris and recyclables at home before heading over-Washington facilities often require separation and it saves time at the gate.
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items; loose trash can blow out on the drive in and makes unloading messier and slower.
- If dropping off commercial loads, have any permits or load paperwork handy and expect possible waits on weekend mornings.
