North County Transfer Station - Trash Drop Off

The North County Transfer Station is one of Spokane County's disposal sites. These sites provide clean and convenient, one-stop drops for  yard waste, food waste, and trash.  The Transfer station also has a drop off area for recyclables and household hazardous waste (HHW). Click on the links above to find out what is accepted for recycling and HHW.

Locations are open to all Spokane County residents. All waste disposal facilities are open 7 days a week, except on major holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas).

If you have yard waste and garbage in the same load and want to be charged the two different rates, you must go through the line twice.

Appliances: Residential appliances are accepted and recycled, but require a regular waste charge (same as garbage) because of special handling. Refrigerators with ammonia are not accepted at the Transfer Stations, however, they are accepted at the Waste to Energy Facility at the regular garbage rate. Commercial sized refrigerators or freezers are not accepted.

Construction, demolition, and land clearing waste is solid waste, largely inert, resulting from the construction, renovation, and demolitions of razing buildings, roads, and other man-made structures. The primary difference between demolition and inert waste is that demolition waste is considered susceptible to decomposition, where inert waste is considered resistant to decomposition. This waste stream often includes:

• Asphalt
• Bricks
• Concrete
• Glass
• Gypsum
• Metals
• Plastics
• Salvaged components (doors, windows, plumbing fixtures)
• Soil
• Trees, stumps, earth, and rock
• Wood

Most CDL materials are accepted at this transfer stations but please call Spokane County Recycling Hotline for specific types of material that are accepted.

Moderate Risk Waste: Some Construction, Demolition, and Land Clearing Debris may require special handling. Please contact the Spokane County Regional Recycling Hotline 509-477-6800 for additional information.
