Summary

In the City of Richland, Washington, large cleanouts go through the city's voluntary roll-off container program rather than curbside bulk pickup. RMC § 15.03.090 establishes the service, and RMC § 15.03.100 sets a one-ton disposal minimum plus a $348.00 monthly fee if a box is not emptied at least monthly.

There is established a voluntary system for provision of larger "roll-off" container services as requested by customers of the city of Richland solid waste utility. ... Roll-off container services will be considered temporary for the first two months of service and charged per day rent charges accordingly. After two consecutive months of service, users will be considered permanent. Disposal fees are subject to a one-ton minimum. Roll-off containers not picked up at least monthly will be charged a minimum monthly fee of $348.00.

Full Breakdown

Richland has no separate curbside bulk-item pickup; instead RMC § 15.03.090 establishes a voluntary system letting solid waste utility customers request a larger roll-off container for bulk waste such as renovation debris or a large cleanout. RMC § 15.03.100 treats the box as temporary for the first two months of service, billed at a per-day rent charge, and reclassifies it as permanent after two consecutive months. Disposal is billed with a one-ton minimum, and a roll-off container that is not picked up at least monthly is charged a minimum monthly fee of $348.00 regardless of how much waste it holds.

The posted rates include a $150.00 hauling fee, $48.00 per ton disposal charge and $45.00 delivery charge for both temporary and permanent boxes, plus a $5.00 per-day rent charge on temporary boxes. If the roll-off container is overloaded, blocked or otherwise not ready to haul when the scheduled truck arrives, RMC § 15.03.100 adds a $45.00 call-back fee for the extra trip. For smaller loads that do not justify a roll-off box, a resident can instead set out extra refuse beside the regular container under RMC § 15.03.050(C): garbage bags up to 32 gallons and 40 pounds, or boxes up to 40 pounds, for an additional per-load charge under RMC § 15.03.060(B).

Violations & Fines

A roll-off container left unemptied for more than a month is charged a minimum monthly fee of $348.00 under RMC § 15.03.100, and one that is overloaded, blocked or not ready to haul at the scheduled time draws a $45.00 call-back fee for the extra service attempt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Richland pick up bulky items curbside?
Not as a dedicated program. RMC § 15.03.090 instead lets customers request a voluntary roll-off container for large volumes of waste, billed under RMC § 15.03.100 with a one-ton disposal minimum and a $348.00 minimum monthly fee if the box sits unemptied for more than a month.
How much does a roll-off container cost in Richland?
RMC § 15.03.100 lists a $150.00 hauling fee, a $48.00 per-ton disposal charge and a $45.00 delivery charge, plus a $5.00 per-day rent charge while the box is classified as temporary during its first two months of service.
What if I only have a little extra trash, not a full cleanout?
RMC § 15.03.050(C) lets you set out extra curbside garbage on your regular collection day: bags up to 32 gallons and 40 pounds, or boxes up to 40 pounds, for an additional charge under RMC § 15.03.060(B), without renting a roll-off container.
