Household Hazardous Waste

Household hazardous waste (HHW) includes household items that usually carry words like caution, warning, danger, corrosive, poison, flammable, combustible, and explosive. HHW can be dropped off free of charge at the Spokane County Regional Solid Waste Disposal sites. The North Transfer Station is currently (temporarily) offering 7-day a week HHW service to aid in proper fire debris disposal. The Valley Transfer Station will continue to only accept HHW on Saturdays and Sundays. The City of Spokane's Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility provides 7-day HHW drop-off; visit the City of Spokane's HHW Page for more information. 

Please view the Solid Waste Department HHW Guide for a more detailed list of acceptable HHW items at the Spokane County Transfer Stations. Need to know where to take a specific HHW item? Please call our Spokane County hotline at 509-477-6800 or visit the Spokane Waste and Recycling Directory for more information on where you can take specific items.

• There will be a total limit of 15 gallons combined HHW material per day
  
• No commercial material
