Benton County residents self-haul large items to the Horn Rapids Landfill near Richland rather than through a county bulk route. Appliances with refrigerant and household hazardous waste need special handling.
The county provides disposal sites, not scheduled bulk pickup. Furniture, mattresses, and bulky junk go to the Horn Rapids Landfill on Twin Bridges Road, owned and operated by the City of Richland, or to the Kennewick Transfer Station, where fees are charged by weight or load. Prosser runs a free dump voucher program for its residents. Appliances containing refrigerant, such as refrigerators and freezers, need certified refrigerant removal first. Paint, batteries, and electronics are not landfill trash and go to household hazardous waste collection. Some private haulers offer on-call bulky-item pickup for an added fee.
Illegal dumping of bulky waste on public or private land brings substantial fines and cleanup costs under state and county solid-waste law. Improper refrigerant-appliance disposal also violates federal and state rules.
