A working landfill on the north side of town where locals and businesses drop off the stuff that gets buried. Mostly used by residents cleaning out garages, landscapers with yard debris, and haul companies bringing commercial loads. It’s the final stop for trash that can’t be recycled or composted in Okanogan County.
Drive up to an entrance lane with a small booth and a scale; vehicles are weighed so expect to stop twice if bringing a load. Pull forward as instructed, then follow signs to the appropriate tip area - larger commercial trucks will be directed to a separate unloading zone. The site is large and dusty in dry months, with piles and compacted areas where material is pushed and covered. Recycling and yard-waste separation is a thing in Washington, so there are usually separate drop points nearby rather than dumping everything together.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have paperwork or ID handy that shows residency or business status for billing or tipping-fee purposes.
- Secure loads with a tarp or tie-downs; loose debris can blow off during the drive and often leads to extra cleanup or delays.
- Bring recyclables and yard waste separated from trash when possible - many Washington facilities expect separation and it speeds up unloading.
