Large bulky items, appliances, furniture, tires and wood must go to the Ramsey or Prairie transfer station, not to rural residential collection sites, where they are expressly prohibited under the Solid Waste Ordinance.
The Solid Waste Ordinance restricts rural residential collection sites to garbage from residential dwellings. Section 4-3-15(B)(2) prohibits at those sites any commercial waste, yard waste over 96 gallons, tires, batteries, construction materials, appliances, furniture, carpet, large bulky items, liquid waste, wood or wood products, petroleum products, or hazardous material. Those items must instead be taken to the Ramsey Transfer Station (3330 N Ramsey Road, Coeur d'Alene) or the Prairie Transfer Station (15580 W Prairie Avenue, Post Falls), which accept large bulky items, tires and wood. Fees apply per the county solid waste fee resolution.
Depositing prohibited bulky or hazardous items at a rural collection site makes the person liable for the full cleanup and disposal costs and subject to the ordinance penalties, including misdemeanor liability under 4-3-16.
