Yakima County Public Works in Sunnyside is the county site people use to drop off household and yard materials. Locals, landscapers, and folks doing seasonal cleanups swing by here for disposal and recycling. It feels like a working county lot rather than a retail facility-practical and no-frills.
The site is the kind of place with workwear, trucks, and trailers coming and going; expect a few piles of materials and large containers. Signage and lanes guide traffic, so drivers usually follow a clear path to drop-off points and then loop back out. Washington requires separating yard waste and recyclables at many locations, so plan to keep those materials apart. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, while weekday afternoons are generally quieter.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort yard waste and recyclables at home before you go so unloading is faster and less confusing.
- Secure loads with straps or tarps; loose debris can spill and slow things down for everyone.
- Avoid peak weekend hours if possible-early weekday afternoons tend to be less crowded during the busy seasons.
