Spokane Dump — Waste to Energy Facility & Transfer Stations, Hours & Fees

Spokane has three public drop-offs run by the City and County: the City's Waste to Energy Facility on Geiger Boulevard, open every day, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Spokane County's North County and Valley transfer stations. They don't charge the same: garbage is $152.60 a ton at Geiger and $135.63 at the county stations.

The county stations switch to shorter winter hours on November 1 and take hazardous waste on weekends only. Here's which site to use, and what each costs.

What it costs to dump in Spokane

Spokane has two price lists. The City sets the rate at the Waste to Energy Facility; the county sets it at the North County and Valley transfer stations. Both are 2026 rates:

What you bring	Waste to Energy (City)	North County & Valley (County)
Garbage	$152.60 a ton, $24.93 minimum (320 lbs)	$135.63 a ton, $17 minimum (260 lbs)
Yard waste	$76.95 a ton, $8.19 minimum (200 lbs)	$73.31 a ton, $8 minimum (220 lbs)
Per-vehicle fee	$2.68	$3
Refrigerant appliance	—	$30 each plus weight

For a small load, the county stations are cheaper: $17 plus $3 against $24.93 plus $2.68 at Geiger Boulevard. Separate yard waste and recyclables first, because a mixed load is charged entirely as garbage.

Rules that apply at every Spokane site

Yard debris can't include rocks, dirt, animal feces, kitchen scraps, or limbs longer than 6 feet or thicker than 3 inches. Hazardous waste is for households only, in containers of 5 gallons or less. Recycling excludes glass with lids, coated or laminated paper, and plastic containers with lids still on. All three sites close on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
