Battery disposal
Did you know that the majority of the fires at the transfer stations in Clark County are started because of batteries? You never want to toss batteries in the trash or recycling, even dead batteries, because they can start fires. Luckily, we have a great solution for you and your residents!- Provide safe and free battery collection by becoming a Clark County Battery Drop-Off host site: There is no cost to participate, the program is funded by Waste Connections.
- Battery recycling kits come with pre-paid shipping labels for easy pick-up once the kits are full.
- Clark County staff will provide free training and resources to keep battery collections safe.
The goal is to make battery recycling more accessible without being a burden on host sites. Contact solidwaste@clark.wa.gov for more information!

Bulky item disposal
Bulky items may occasionally need to be disposed of by residents. This is particularly common during move-in and move-out. Bulky items are generally defined as any item that is too large to fit in your garbage or recycling containers. Common items include furniture, appliances, and automobile tires. Advise your residents not to dump these items in your service area to avoid disruption to your regular services. Instead, recommend these options for bulky item disposal:
- Donate for reuse: Donate unwanted bulky items that are still in good condition to thrift or reuse stores. A comprehensive list of local stores that accept bulky items for donation can be found by searching the Recycle A-Z directory, using the key word “Bulky items”.
- Request bulky item pick-up from Waste Connections. Request services and receive a price quote by filling out the online form.
- Drop-off bulky items at any of the three transfer stations in Clark County. For information on your local facility visit the Columbia Resource Company website. Electronics and recyclable materials can be dropped off at no charge.
