City collection The hauler runs a bulk pick up for furniture, home appliances and similar large items that do not belong in the cart, arranged in advance with the office rather than left at the curb. The hauler lists bulk pick up as a residential service and quotes the price for the load rather than publishing a rate card, so call Waste Control on 360-425-4302 for the current charge before booking the collection. A load taken to the transfer station instead is priced at the gate.
City collection Appliances are recycled rather than buried: the county recycling list names washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners and hot water tanks among the metal goods that can be recycled, and the hauler handles metal recycling with rates quoted by phone. From $25 for the in county appliance line on the transfer station rate sheet the county publishes, at $25.00 for an appliance holding refrigerant, with that item not accepted from out of county customers and with the sheet's footnote stating that a refrigerant appliance is charged the removal fee plus the disposal fee by ton. Cowlitz County residents at the transfer station. Metal appliances without refrigerant go with the metal recycling stream instead, and the hauler quotes those rates on 360-425-4302, while the sheet adds the 3.6 percent refuse collection tax to every charge.
City collection Garbage and recycling are collected weekly on the same day by Waste Control under the city programme, and the charge rides on the bundled city utility account with water, sewer and stormwater rather than being billed on its own. The garbage and recycling charge is bundled into the utility bill rather than billed as its own published rate, so the account charge is confirmed through the Finance Department on 360-442-5099 for a new account or Waste Control on 360-425-4302 for a change of service level.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Longview bundles garbage and recycling into the city utility account, with Waste Control running the collection: bags and carts go out the night before or by 7 a.m., both garbage and recycling are collected on the same day each week, and the municipal code requires the containers put away within 24 hours. The hauler also runs the transfer station on 3rd Avenue in Longview, which is where the larger material goes. Furniture and home appliances move through a booked bulk pick up, yard waste can go in the green container at home or to the station separated from the garbage, and residential tires are priced by the tire at the gate with a limit of five. Tires also have a free county route when Ecology funding allows, though no amnesty event is scheduled at present. Appliances that hold refrigerant carry a removal fee plus the disposal charge, metal is recycled through the hauler with rates quoted by phone, and electronics go free to Goodwill or the hauler on 3rd Avenue for computers, laptops, monitors and televisions. Household hazardous waste is a Tuesday and Saturday morning drop off for Cowlitz and Wahkiakum residents.
Weekly garbage and recycling carts on the city utility account
Accepted with preparation
Garbage and recycling are collected weekly on the same day by Waste Control under the city programme, and the charge rides on the bundled city utility account with water, sewer and stormwater rather than being billed on its own.
City cost & eligibility
The garbage and recycling charge is bundled into the utility bill rather than billed as its own published rate, so the account charge is confirmed through the Finance Department on 360-442-5099 for a new account or Waste Control on 360-425-4302 for a change of service level.
When & how
Garbage and recycling are collected weekly on the same day for the address. Containers go out the night before or by 7 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Place containers at least five feet from parked vehicles and other obstacles with at least three feet of clearance on all sides, at the curb or the road or alley edge, with the handles facing the home. Put the containers away within 24 hours of service, because the municipal code allows a fine for containers left out beyond that, and keep the containers closed so illegal dumping into them is discouraged.
The hauler runs a bulk pick up for furniture, home appliances and similar large items that do not belong in the cart, arranged in advance with the office rather than left at the curb.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler lists bulk pick up as a residential service and quotes the price for the load rather than publishing a rate card, so call Waste Control on 360-425-4302 for the current charge before booking the collection. A load taken to the transfer station instead is priced at the gate.
When & how
Arrange the collection with Waste Control on 360-425-4302 and set the items out for the agreed day rather than on the ordinary cart schedule.
Get it ready
Keep large items out of the garbage cart so the cart can still be emptied, describe the load accurately when booking so the right truck is sent, and expect an appliance holding refrigerant to be priced separately from ordinary furniture because the refrigerant has to be removed before disposal.
Appliances are recycled rather than buried: the county recycling list names washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners and hot water tanks among the metal goods that can be recycled, and the hauler handles metal recycling with rates quoted by phone.
City cost & eligibility
From $25 for the in county appliance line on the transfer station rate sheet the county publishes, at $25.00 for an appliance holding refrigerant, with that item not accepted from out of county customers and with the sheet's footnote stating that a refrigerant appliance is charged the removal fee plus the disposal fee by ton. Cowlitz County residents at the transfer station. Metal appliances without refrigerant go with the metal recycling stream instead, and the hauler quotes those rates on 360-425-4302, while the sheet adds the 3.6 percent refuse collection tax to every charge.
When & how
Arrange a bulk pick up with the hauler or take the unit to the transfer station at 1150 3rd Avenue, and confirm the gate charge on 360-425-4302 before hauling because the published rate sheet is dated 2025.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost a refrigerator or freezer and secure the doors and shelves for the trip. Treat a unit holding refrigerant as a separate priced item rather than as ordinary metal, and keep smaller appliances out of the recycling cart so the recycling load stays clean.
Yard waste in the green container or at the station
Accepted with preparation
Yard waste has two published routes: into the green garbage container at home, or to the Waste Control Transfer Station at the standard rates as long as it is separated from household garbage.
City cost & eligibility
The city says yard waste taken to the station is charged at the standard rates without publishing the figure on the programme page, so confirm the current rate with the station on 360-425-4302. Yard waste placed in the green container at home rides the ordinary garbage service instead of being charged separately.
When & how
Put yard waste in the green container on the weekly collection day, or take it to the transfer station at 1150 3rd Avenue with the load separated from household garbage.
Get it ready
Keep large roots and dirt out of the container, because the city says a tub that becomes too heavy to empty can leave the household responsible for removing the dirt, and do not fill the shared green tubs in alley service areas with yard material because neighbours need the space. Never dump yard waste, tree clippings or woody debris in the alley behind a property, since the owner or occupant is responsible for maintaining that section and the city can issue a notice to have it removed.
Residential tires are accepted at the transfer station from any county with published prices by size and by whether the rim is still on, and no more than five tires are taken in one trip. The county also runs free tire amnesty events for residents when state funding allows.
City cost & eligibility
$5 per passenger tire off the rim for one to five tires for a Cowlitz County resident, with a passenger tire on the rim at $10.00 in county, a truck tire on the rim at $19.00 in county, out of county prices of $10.00, $15.00 and $24.00 on the same lines, and the rate sheet adding $5.00 for a passenger tire on a rim and $14.00 for a truck tire on a rim. Residential customers only, since commercial tires are not accepted, and the load is limited to five tires with more than five refused. The transfer station takes waste from any county, with out of county customers charged the higher tire prices.
When & how
Take up to five tires to the transfer station at 1150 3rd Avenue during its open hours, and watch the county page for a tire amnesty event because those collections recycle resident tires free of charge when they are scheduled.
Get it ready
Take the tires off the rims where you can, since the rim adds to the per tire charge on both the hauler's price list and the county sheet, and keep the load to five tires because a sixth tire makes the load unacceptable. Keep tires out of the garbage and recycling carts entirely.
Metal is recycled through the hauler, which quotes its metal recycling rates by phone, and the county recycling list names the metal goods it takes, from cans and foil through to large appliances.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler's recycling guide tells customers to call the office for current metal recycling rates instead of publishing a table, so confirm the price on 360-425-4302 before loading. Metal dropped at a county recycling site follows that site's own rules rather than a city rate.
When & how
Call the hauler to arrange metal recycling or delivery to the transfer station, and use the county disposal and recycling map to find an alternative drop site.
Get it ready
Keep metal separate from household garbage so it can be recycled rather than buried, drain and empty anything that held fuel or oil, and keep refrigerant appliances out of a scrap metal load because they are priced and handled separately.
Two Longview locations take household electronics at no charge: Goodwill Industries on 14th Avenue and Waste Control Recycling on 3rd Avenue. Both take computers, laptops, monitors and televisions and both refuse the rest of the electronic odds and ends.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households dropping computers, laptops, monitors or televisions at either Longview location, which the city lists as the local e-waste acceptance points. Items outside that list, such as fax machines, keyboards, mice and printers, are refused there and directed to the green garbage container or the transfer station instead.
When & how
Goodwill on 1030 14th Avenue is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and answers on 360-425-7520, while Waste Control Recycling at 1150 3rd Avenue is open 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and answers on 360-425-4302.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep batteries out of the pile so they are handled safely rather than crushed in a truck, and check the item against the accepted list first because a keyboard, mouse, printer or fax machine has to go in the garbage container or to the transfer station rather than to the two e-waste sites.
Paint, chemicals, batteries and other hazardous waste
Accepted with preparation
Household hazardous waste has a free residential drop off at the hauler's facility on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, run in collaboration with the county, while dangerous waste from a small quantity generator is a separate appointment service.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential customers in Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties, who may drop household hazardous waste free of charge during the published window. Commercial small quantity generator disposal is a fee based appointment service instead, and the hauler does not take lamps through that programme.
When & how
The residential hazardous waste window is 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday and Saturday, and dangerous waste from a small quantity generator is scheduled by appointment on 360-425-4302.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers with the lids sealed so staff can identify them, and keep them out of every cart and out of the transfer station load, because the station does not accept federally or state defined hazardous or dangerous waste. Asbestos and demolition material follow their own appointment and permit rules, and treated wood needs a special waste permit.
Garbage and recycling are collected weekly on the same day. Carts go out the night before or by 7 a.m. on the collection day, at least five feet from parked vehicles and other obstacles with three feet of clearance on all sides, at the curb or the road or alley edge with the handles facing the home. Bring the containers in within 24 hours of service, because the municipal code allows a fine for containers left out beyond that, and keep them closed to discourage illegal dumping.
Furniture and home appliances move through the hauler's bulk pick up, arranged in advance on 360-425-4302, or they travel to the transfer station at 1150 3rd Avenue, which takes waste from any county and prices the load at the gate. An appliance holding refrigerant is priced on its own line with the removal fee added, so it should be described when booking or confirmed at the scale rather than mixed into an ordinary load.
Yard waste stays out of the alley and out of the shared tubs
Yard waste goes in the green container at home or to the transfer station separated from household garbage at the standard rates. Keep roots and dirt out of the container, because a tub that is too heavy to empty can leave the household responsible for removing the dirt, and do not fill the shared green tubs in alley service areas with yard material. Yard waste, tree clippings and woody debris must not be dumped in the alley behind a property, since the owner or occupant maintains that section and the city can issue a notice to have the material removed.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Longview solid waste programme with Waste Control as the city's collection and transfer station operator, and Cowlitz County for rates and the tire programme
Book a bulk pick up with the city's hauler
A Longview household with furniture, a home appliance or another large item that does not belong in the cart.
Cost & conditions
Waste Control lists bulk pick up for furniture and home appliances as a residential service and quotes the charge for the load rather than publishing a rate, so call 360-425-4302 for the current price before booking.
Arrange it
Call the hauler to describe the load, agree a collection day, and set the items out for that day rather than on the ordinary cart day.
The service is priced per booking rather than per item, and an appliance holding refrigerant is a priced item of its own because the refrigerant has to be removed before disposal.
City of Longview solid waste programme with Waste Control as the city's collection and transfer station operator, and Cowlitz County for rates and the tire programme
Haul the load to the transfer station on 3rd Avenue
A household with a vehicle, trailer or truck that would rather pay by the load at the gate, including tires, yard debris and scrap metal.
Cost & conditions
From $12.5 for the in county minimum charge per load on the transfer station rate sheet the county publishes, which is dated 2025, with garbage at $62.50 per ton, oversized items over eight feet at $150.00 per ton, fewer than five tires at $5.00 each, an appliance holding refrigerant at $25.00, debris containing drywall at $145.00 per ton, an unsecured load fee of $10.00, a disabled veteran credit of up to $14.00 per load and an additional 3.6 percent refuse collection tax on every rate. Waste is accepted from any county, with Cowlitz County residents getting the in county rates and out of county customers paying the higher column, where an appliance holding refrigerant is not accepted at all. Confirm the current figure at the gate on 360-425-4302 because the published sheet is dated 2025.
Arrange it
Load and secure the material, drive to 1150 3rd Avenue in Longview, and check in at the gate, keeping tires, yard debris and metal separate so each is priced on its own line.
More than five tires are refused, a refrigerant appliance is not accepted from out of county customers, hazardous and dangerous waste is refused, treated wood needs a special waste permit, and the published sheet is dated 2025 so the gate charge should be confirmed before hauling.
City of Longview solid waste programme with Waste Control as the city's collection and transfer station operator, and Cowlitz County for rates and the tire programme
Watch for a county tire amnesty event
A Cowlitz County household with used tires waiting for a free recycling event rather than paying the per tire gate price.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Cowlitz County residents at the county's tire amnesty events, which are funded through the state Department of Ecology waste tire program so that recycling is free to residents, with the county aiming for two events a year and at least a month of notice, and the county page showing nothing on the calendar right now.
Arrange it
Watch the county environmental health page and local notices for the next event, then bring the tires to the announced site during the event window.
The programme depends on grant funding and the number, duration and locations of events can change, so a household that cannot wait should use the transfer station at the published per tire rates instead.

Drop household hazardous waste on a Tuesday or Saturday morning
A household clearing out paint, chemicals, cleaners or other labelled hazardous products.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Residential customers in Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties, who may use the free drop off during the published window.
Arrange it
Take the material to the hauler's facility between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday or Saturday, with the products upright and their lids sealed.
The window is short, dangerous waste from a small quantity generator needs an appointment and a fee, lamps are not taken through that programme, and asbestos, demolition material and treated wood each have their own permit or appointment rules.

Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+

How do I get rid of a couch in Longview?+
Book a bulk pick up with Waste Control on 360-425-4302, which is the hauler that runs the city programme and lists furniture and home appliances among the bulk services. The charge is quoted for the load rather than published, so ask for the current price when booking. A couch can also be hauled to the transfer station at 1150 3rd Avenue, where loads from any county are accepted and priced at the gate.Official guidance
What happens to a Longview refrigerator?+
It is recycled as metal rather than buried, since the county recycling list names refrigerators, air conditioners, washers, dryers and hot water tanks among the appliances that can be recycled. A unit holding refrigerant is priced as its own line on the transfer station rate sheet, is not accepted from out of county customers, and the sheet notes that the refrigerant removal fee is charged on top of the disposal fee by ton. Confirm the current charge on 360-425-4302 before hauling, because the published sheet is dated 2025.Official guidance
Where does Longview yard waste go?+
Into the green garbage container on the weekly collection day, or to the Waste Control Transfer Station at 1150 3rd Avenue, where the city says yard material is taken at the standard rates as long as it is separated from household garbage. Large roots and dirt stay out of the container because a tub that is too heavy to empty can leave the household responsible for removing the dirt, and yard waste must not be dumped in the alley behind a property.Official guidance
What does a Longview tire cost to dispose of?+
At the transfer station on 3rd Avenue a tire costs less off the rim than on it, the out of county rate is higher than the in county rate, and a truck tire on the rim is the most expensive line. Only residential tires are taken, the limit is five tires, and more than five are refused. The county also runs free tire amnesty events for residents when the state waste tire program funding allows, with the next collection still to be announced.Official guidance
Who handles waste in Longview?+
Waste Control runs collection and the transfer station under the city programme, with the garbage and recycling charge bundled into the city utility account alongside water, sewer and stormwater. New accounts go through the Finance Department on 360-442-5099, service level changes go through Waste Control on 360-425-4302, and Cowlitz County sets the transfer station rates and runs the free tire amnesty programme when state funding allows.Official guidance
What does clearing a house cost in Longview?+
Curbside garbage and recycling are bundled into the utility account rather than billed per item, and a bulk pick up for furniture or appliances is quoted for the load when it is booked on 360-425-4302. A load taken to the transfer station is priced at the gate from the rate sheet the county publishes, with a minimum charge per load, garbage by the ton, tires by the piece, a refrigerant appliance on its own line and an added 3.6 percent refuse collection tax. Dropcurb prices a booking separately with the total shown before payment.Official guidance
What will Longview not take?+
More than five tires are refused in one load, commercial tires are not taken at all, a refrigerant appliance is not accepted from an out of county customer, hazardous and dangerous waste cannot be tipped at the scale, treated wood needs a special waste permit, and demolition loads are priced by phone. Some common electronics such as keyboards, mice, printers and fax machines are also refused at the two e-waste sites and have to go in the green garbage container or to the transfer station.Official guidance
