Sunshine University Transfer Station is open 7 days a week, 7:30 am to 5:00 pm year-round except for the following holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Sunshine University Transfer Station provides clean and convenient, one-stop drop areas for yard waste, trash, recycling and household hazardous waste.
No trash is accepted with Clean Green yard waste. If you have Clean Green and trash in the same load and want to be charged the two different rates, you must go through the line twice.
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
If you have CDL material you need to dispose of, you can take it to one of the three regional disposal sites or check out the Spokane Waste Directory Database to find out what you can take where.
