Residential & Commercial Disposal Services
Waste Disposal
Animal Carcasses
Not specific to Cowlitz County – Any County accepted. Highly recommend scheduling in advance so an employee can be available in the transfer station to cover the animal carcass quickly. If the animal is extra large, the customer must fill out a special waste application and should bring chain to tie off to stationary heavy equipment and then can pull the animal off the vehicle. Due to liability purposes, Waste Control staff ARE NOT allowed to remove any objects from customer vehicles.
Asbestos Disposal
Waste Control accepts asbestos generated from Cowlitz and Wahkiakum County residents by appointment only. Please contact Waste Control at (360) 425-4302 for an appointment and for fee information.
For any demolition of a residence, Waste Control requires a Notice of Demolition and an asbestos inspection report. Both documents are required by the Southwest Clean Air Agency.
Residents delivering asbestos to Waste Control must follow specific asbestos disposal procedures and complete a special waste application and waste shipment record.
Please carefully follow the steps listed in the asbestos disposal procedures. Contact the Southwest Clean Air Agency or Waste Control if you have any questions.
If you are a business customer, please contact Waste Control at (360) 425-4302 for information on our drop-box and hauling services for asbestos abatement projects.

Small Quantity Generator Collection
Small quantity generators are individuals or businesses that generate and/or accumulate dangerous waste in small amounts. This means you generate and/or accumulate a small amount (NEVER generate more than 220 pounds per month and NEVER accumulate more than 2,200 pounds on site) of hazardous waste. Small quantity generators are exempt from most state regulations, but not all.
For more information, contact the Washington State Department of Ecology.
Waste Control accepts dangerous waste small quantity generators by appointment only.
Contact Waste Control at (360) 425-4302 to schedule an appointment. This is a fee-based service that depends on the volume and type of waste.
