Landfill check

Landfill Check is the regional landfill out on Twin Bridges Road in Richland, used by local residents and commercial haulers. It’s the final stop where trash is buried rather than recycled, so expect a working, industrial feel rather than anything polished. Most people dropping off are hauling household junk, construction debris, or commercial loads.

There’s an entrance booth and a weigh scale for vehicles - tipping fees are typically charged by weight with a minimum charge for small loads, so vehicles stop to be weighed on the way in and often again on the way out. Pull up to the booth, follow the traffic flow shown by attendants or signage, then drive slowly through the working area where large compactors, roll-off trucks, and piles of cover dirt are common sights. Yard waste and recyclables are usually kept separate in Washington, so expect separate collection points or bins nearby; weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy and slow.
