Waste to Energy Transfer Station - Trash Drop Off

The WTE Transfer Station is open 7 days a week, 7:30 am to 5:00 pm year-round except for the following holidays: WTE Services are closed for New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Waste to Energy (WTE) Transfer Station is operated by the City of Spokane  This site provides clean and convenient, one-stop drop locations for yard waste, food waste, trash, recycling, and household hazardous waste. 

Accepted Trash

• Household garbage
• Residential appliances (will be charged as trash)
• Construction and demolition debris
• Latex paint (must be dried out before going to Waste to Energy, can mix with paper, litter or coffee grounds to solidify)
• Prescription Drugs & Over-The-Counter Medications
• Mattresses
• Canopies
• Camper shells with appliances removed
• Tires (tires greater than 36" diameter must be cut in two foot pieces, 6 tires per visit)
• Animal carcasses under 35 lbs. (If over 35 lbs. call Waste To Energy (509) 625-6580 for an appointment)
• Drums/Barrels (ends removed, drums flattened)

If you have Clean Green 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 are charged the regular sold waste charge because they require special handling. Refrigerators with ammonia are accepted at the Waste to Energy Facility but are NOT accepted at the North county and Valley Transfer Stations. 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

If you have CDL material you need to dispose of, you can take it to one of the three regional Transfer Stations or check out the Spokane Waste Directory Database to find out what you can take where.
