Full Breakdown
Kennewick doesn't run a curbside bulk-waste program for large or oversized items. Under KMC 9.04.060, at least one franchised solid waste collector must maintain a disposal site or transfer station open every day except Sundays and holidays, and must give residential customers four "Free Disposal" coupons per year, publicizing how to use them at the transfer station. Getting rid of a couch, appliance, or yard debris beyond curbside bundling limits means hauling it to that transfer station, using a free coupon or paying the standard gate fee.
Violations & Fines
There's no penalty for using the free coupons; failing to properly dispose of waste through the franchised collector can trigger the Chapter's general civil infraction penalty, up to $5,000 (KMC 9.04.120).
