Why Dump Fees Feel So Expensive in 2026

King County increased disposal rates in 2026 to fund landfill operations, environmental programs, and waste reduction efforts. Even a small load now costs over $40 at minimum.

By the time most homeowners factor in dump fees, fuel, travel time, waiting in line, and lifting heavy items, hiring a junk removal company is often more convenient.
