Richland City Landfill is the city landfill out on Twin Bridges Road, used by local homeowners and businesses hauling household trash and construction debris. The place is big and open - trucks and trailers come and go most days, especially on weekends and during yard-cleanup season.
Drive up to a small entrance booth where vehicles are checked before moving forward; there’s a scale you’ll cross to be weighed and then you stop again on the way out for the outbound weight. The tipping fee is charged by weight with different rates for residential versus commercial loads, so commercial trucks are handled differently than a homeowner in a pickup. Recycling and yard waste separation is common in Washington, so expect signs or bins nearby indicating where to put recyclable materials or green debris.

Before You Go
- Bring the load sorted as much as possible - separating recyclables and yard waste before getting in line usually saves time.
- Have a plan for how to pull up and back out; larger trucks need extra room, and the dumping area is exposed to wind and sun.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings in spring; traffic and wait times can build up, so an off-peak trip is quicker.
