Stevens County Landfill

Stevens County Landfill in Kettle Falls is the county dump where most household and commercial trash ends up being buried. Neighbors drop off everything from a truckload of old siding to contractor trailers - it's the final stop for items that can't go in the recycle pile.

There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale, so plan to stop to get weighed; tipping fees are generally charged by weight and residential loads often have a minimum charge. Pull up to the booth/scale, then follow the traffic flow to the drop-off area - the site is mostly open dirt and compacted cells with heavy equipment moving around. In Washington, yard waste and recyclables often need to be separated, so have those loads staged before getting out of the vehicle. Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanup; larger commercial trucks can add to the wait.
