The Horn Rapids Landfill is owned and operated by the City of Richland.

It is located at 3102 Twin Bridges Road in Richland.

Garbage Truck at Landfill Landfill hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Sunday, March through October.

Beginning in November through February, the landfill closes on Sundays. The Landfill is also closed on all City-observed holidays (see below) and Easter.

Richland residents may dispose of self-hauled waste at the resident rate with proof of current Richland refuse service. Residents must be present and bring identification to receive the resident rate. Providing a current utility bill is also helpful to expedite the verification process. All other customers will be charged the non-Richland rate in accordance with current published rates.
