Pullman Disposal Service Electronic Waste Recycling
There are many dangerous or hazardous chemicals in today’s electronic waste (especially computer monitors). In fact, Whitman County has banned certain items of e-waste from the landfill. That means you cannot throw the following items away: TV’s, CPU’s, computer monitors, laptops, and e-readers.
Please do not put your old electronic equipment in the trash. Rather, you may bring in your e-waste to our office from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Mondays through Fridays to have it disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
We are now collecting some e-waste at no charge (subject to certain limitations) under the auspices of Washington’s E-Cycle program administered by the WMMFA. Please see below for details.
The official website for the program is http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/swfa/eproductrecycle/
Just a couple notes. We are open to the public for e-waste collection from Mondays through Thursdays, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Please stop in our office first to sign in before dropping off the material.
Do NOT drop off e-waste unattended. Unattended e-waste can possibly be removed by members of the public. Destroy or remove your hard drive before leaving your computer towers. Recycle computers with intact hard drives at Your Own Risk! Recycle cell phones at the front office.
If the official hours do not work for your schedule, please call our office and set up a date and time that will work for the both of us. The number is 509-334-1914.
Not all e-waste is free. Here are the items covered by the state program (these are the same items that are banned by the county landfill) :
- Televisions
- CPU’s – often called towers, these are the main computing unit that powers all the other computer peripherals
- Computer monitors
- Portable or laptop computers and e-readers
We are unable to accept commercial quantities of electronic waste.
Please note that computer peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and printers, scanners, copiers, etc. are NOT included in this program. These other items we will continue to be taken at 50 cents a pound. These items are not banned from the landfill and can be thrown in the garbage if you do not want to bring them up to our facility for recycling. Please call us if you need help transporting your e-waste to Pullman Disposal.
Thanks for your assistance in keeping hazardous chemicals out of the environment.
Household Hazardous Waste
Household Hazardous Waste Handling
Hazardous wastes should not be put in the trash. See below for how to dispose of them responsibly. Please call us at (509) 334-1914 for further information.
We are now accepting Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs at our office.
You may drop off your spent CFL bulbs at no charge at our office during business hours. CFL’s are the small, coiled bulbs.
Your spent CFL bulbs should not be thrown away due to all the mercury in the bulb. You may bring them to our office during office hours [Monday through Friday 8:00 to 5:00 pm] for free drop off. We can accept an unlimited number of small bulbs. Please limit yourself to twelve long bulbs per visit. Do NOT bring in cracked or broken bulbs; broken bulbs should be thrown away. Thank You.

What Goes In Your Recycling Cart
The great thing about our commingled recycling program is, not only do you not have to separate recyclables by type, but you can also put paper, plastic, and aluminum in the maroon recycling cart.
Over the last few years there have been significant changes to recycling, and it sometimes can be hard to know what goes in and what doesn’t. Generally following the guidelines listed on the tops of the carts is good, but things change and even the images on the carts may not have the current list of what is and is not accepted.
Please check out the image and table below for a thorough review of what you can recycle under Single-Stream (commingled) recycling. Items should be clean, dry and empty, and remember, if it isn’t listed use the maxim… “When in doubt, throw it out! (into the regular garbage container)”
A change as of December 2017 removes Glass in any form from the single stream recycling program. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. The glass may be thrown in the regular garbage container or taken out to the Whitman County Landfill where they have a glass collection point.
Also, if there is foam anywhere in the description or content of the item, it is not recyclable. And please, take the recyclables out of any plastic bags before putting them in the carts.
Give us a call if you have any questions at 509-334-1914.
Thank you.
