Yakima County residents drop large items at county disposal sites rather than through a county bulk route. Furniture and appliances go to the Terrace Heights or Cheyne landfills; appliances with refrigerant and hazardous waste need special handling.
The county provides self-haul disposal, not scheduled bulk pickup. Bulky items, furniture, and mattresses can be taken to the Terrace Heights Landfill, the Cheyne Landfill near Zillah, or the Lower Valley Transfer Station, where fees are charged by weight or load. Appliances containing refrigerant, such as refrigerators, freezers, and AC units, require certified refrigerant removal before disposal. Household hazardous waste, paint, batteries, and electronics are not landfill trash and go to the Household Hazardous Waste facility at Terrace Heights. Some private haulers offer on-call bulky-item pickup for an extra fee. Illegal dumping on the county's rangeland is aggressively enforced.
Illegal dumping of bulky waste on public or private land brings substantial fines and cleanup costs under state and county solid-waste law. Disposing of refrigerant appliances improperly also violates federal and state rules.
