Richland runs its own solid waste utility and its own landfill, and the local wrinkle is that recycling is an opt-in add-on rather than an automatic cart. Every household gets a gray garbage cart and a green yard waste cart on a weekly schedule, while the blue co-mingled recycling cart has to be requested and comes every other week on a different day. Horn Rapids Landfill, city-owned since 1974, takes automotive fluids and batteries but sends electronics elsewhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is recycling automatic in Richland?
No. Each household receives a gray cart for household garbage and a green cart for yard waste, both collected weekly on your designated day. Co-mingled recycling is an additional service added on request, and the blue cart is collected on a different designated day than the gray and green service.
What can I take to the Horn Rapids Landfill?
The landfill accepts used motor oil, antifreeze, and cooking oil at a 5-gallon limit per visit each, plus automotive batteries, rechargeable batteries, and propane tanks and canisters. Call (509) 942-7700 before arriving to check tank level status on the oils and antifreeze.
Can I recycle electronics at Horn Rapids Landfill?
No. The landfill does not accept e-waste or high-intensity light bulb recycling. Electronics such as televisions, computer towers, laptops, monitors, e-readers, and portable DVD players go through E-Cycle Washington, and two Benton County participants that guarantee free recycling are DTG Recycle at 1936 Saint St in Richland and Goodwill donation centers.
Where does household hazardous waste go in Richland?
The Benton-Franklin Health District accepts remaining household hazardous waste at its collection office at 1709 S Ely St in Kennewick. That office also takes compact fluorescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes, and high intensity discharge lights, none of which the landfill will handle.
How should yard waste be set out in Richland?
Green carts go to the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your regular collection day, and the city composts the material at Horn Rapids Landfill. If you bag yard waste, use only BPI certified compostable bags so it can still be composted. Free compost bags are available at the landfill or City Hall from October through the end of December, limit 15 per visit while supplies last. See our yard waste guide.
Recycling tips for Richland

•Leave a minimum of 14 feet of overhead clearance above the container.
