Solid Waste Facility
Kittitas County Solid Waste Programs Office
925 S, Industrial Way, Ellensburg, WA 98926
(509) 962-7542Kittitas County Solid Waste Programs Office in Ellensburg is the local spot for handling household trash, recycling and yard debris for area residents. Neighbors, contractors and landscapers all stop through here when clearing out garages or doing property cleanup.
The site looks like a working industrial yard with piles and bins visible from the drive in; expect to pull up to an entrance booth before moving to drop-off areas. Recycling and yard-waste areas are usually separated from general trash, so vehicles tend to be routed to different lanes. Weekends and spring cleanup days often have a line of pickups and trailers waiting to get in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Separate yard waste and recyclables from regular trash before getting to the site-Washington facilities often expect that.
- Bring straps or a tarp to secure loose material in a truck or trailer; loose loads spill and slow things down for everyone.
- Arrive early on weekends or busy seasonal days to avoid long waits, and have your load organized so you can move quickly between drop-off spots.
