Solid Waste & Resource Recovery (Landfill)

Starting on October 1^st, 2020 the self-haul fee at the West Pasco Resource Recovery Facility and the East Pasco Transfer Station increased from $65.69 per ton to $72.08 per ton, or $3.60 per 100 lbs. Residents may still bring up to 8 bags of trash per day at no charge.

Please practice smart social distancing on site – remain in your vehicle at the scale house unless prompted for payment and stay at least six feet away from employees and other visitors while unloading. Remember, team members do not assist with unloading items.
