Stevens County Solid Waste

Stevens County Solid Waste in Kettle Falls is the county dump where locals bring household trash, yard clippings and whatever else doesn't fit in curbside bins. Farmers, folks doing spring cleanup and anyone clearing out a garage use this place. It feels like a working site rather than a neat retail center - practical and a little dusty on dry days.

Drive up a short lane to an entrance booth where someone directs traffic and sorts vehicles. There’s a scale and truck traffic, so expect to stop, line up, and then pull forward to the proper drop-off area for trash, recyclables or yard waste. Piles of brush and separate containers are common, with larger compactors or open pits for general landfill material. Weekends and spring cleanup season can get busy, and the site has the rough, utilitarian look of most county landfills.
