Fort Riley Environmental Waste Management Center

Fort Riley Environmental Waste Management Center at BLDG 1945 on Fort Riley in Junction City is the place locals and base personnel use to drop off household and community waste. Short drive from town, it’s the practical spot for getting rid of bulk junk and debris when regular pickup won’t do.

The facility sits on post and has a fenced compound with an entrance/inspection point where vehicles stop before coming in. After that, lanes lead to concrete pads, containers, or covered bays where materials are unloaded, so expect to pull up close and maneuver carefully if towing a trailer. There’s visible signage around the yard that points to different drop areas and safekeeping structures, and piles or bins can take up a lot of space, so larger trucks have to take it slow. Weekends get busier, especially during spring cleanup, while weekdays usually move more quickly.
