Landfill
Okanogan Central Landfill
Okanogan Central Landfill, , Okanogan, 98840, Washington
Okanogan Central Landfill is the county landfill just outside town where households and local haulers take trash that needs burying. Trucks, trailers and the occasional pickup show up here - this is where larger loads end up rather than curbside pickup.
Drive in past an entrance booth and you'll generally cross a weigh scale; tipping fees are typically charged by weight or by material type. Expect to see drop-off bins or areas for yard waste and recyclables, since Washington facilities often separate those streams. The site is large and open with dirt piles, heavy equipment and a wide tipping face - pull up, unload at the indicated spot, then usually head back over the scale. Weekends and spring cleanup bring lines, so busy times can add a notable wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads so wind or bumps don't spill material on the road or in the facility.
- Sort out yard waste and recyclables before getting in line; having them separated speeds the process and matches how many Washington sites work.
- If hauling a trailer, allow extra time to get on the scale and back into position - mornings and weekends tend to be the busiest.
