Household Hazardous Waste Center

828 Kerr St, South Bend, IN 46601

(574) 235-9971

Household Hazardous Waste Center at 4707 Deramus Ave is the local place for residents to drop off household hazardous materials in Kansas City. Neighbors bring things like old paint, chemicals, and other household hazardous items here instead of putting them in regular trash. The facility serves the surrounding community and fits the range of Missouri centers from larger city sites to smaller local operations.

Drive up to a staffed entrance area or drop-off lane where vehicles are directed to the proper unloading spot; expect to stop and wait if there's a line. The site looks like a yard with covered bays or collection containers and an office/booth near the driveway. Vehicles are usually unloaded at a specific spot rather than leaving items curbside, and there may be a scale or check point involved so people pause twice - coming in and leaving. Weekends and seasonal clean-up times commonly have longer lines, so plan for a short wait.

Before You Go

  • Bring items contained and sealed the same way they were stored at home-no loose liquids in the trunk-so unloading is quicker and less of a mess.
  • Have items easy to reach in the vehicle (not jammed under seats or buried), because people are typically asked to hand them off from the tailgate or trunk.
  • Go during a weekday morning if possible; higher-volume times like weekend spring cleanups tend to form queues and slow things down.
