District of Columbia dump FAQ
How many landfills are in District of Columbia?
Dumpmapper doesn't list any landfills in District of Columbia yet, but it lists 1 transfer station, where you can usually drop off trash and bulky loads. Our sources are OpenStreetMap and the US EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program database, and they can miss sites. If you know one, tell us.
Where can I take household hazardous waste in District of Columbia?
We don't have a household hazardous waste drop-off listed in District of Columbia yet. Many counties hold collection days a few times a year, so check with your county's solid waste or public works office. Our household hazardous waste guide explains what to expect.
Do dumps in District of Columbia charge a fee?
Many do, and each site sets its own prices. Charges often depend on weight, load size or the type of item, and tires, mattresses and appliances commonly cost extra. We don't publish prices we can't verify, so ask the site before you go. The dump cost calculator can help you estimate a load.
Can I use a dump in District of Columbia if I'm not a resident?
It depends on the site. Some city- and county-run sites serve residents only or charge non-residents more, while many privately run landfills and transfer stations take anyone who pays. Check the site's rules before you go, and bring an ID or a utility bill in case they ask for proof of address.
How do I find the phone number or hours for a dump in District of Columbia?
None of the 2 listings in District of Columbia has a phone number or website in our sources yet. For listings without one, use the Find phone & hours link: it opens a web search for the site's name and town. If you find the phone number or hours, send them to us and we'll add them after checking.
Where can I recycle paint and batteries in District of Columbia?
