Geary County Solid Waste is the local solid waste facility in Junction City used by residents bringing household trash, yard waste and recyclables. Small town drivers, landscapers and folks doing spring cleanups all drop by here to unload.
Pull in off Perry Street to a gravel lot with an entrance booth and a drive-up sequence that directs vehicles toward the drop-off points. There’s a scale and a pay station area near the entrance so expect to stop twice if bringing a loaded truck or trailer. Recycling bins sit to the right a bit past the booth, while larger piles and roll-off areas are straight ahead; trucks and pickups navigate slowly through the site. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so lines and some waiting are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose debris before hauling - windy drives and the open lot make loose trash a pain to chase.
- Bring help for heavy items; the ground is uneven in places and lifting bulky stuff off a trailer can take two people.
- Separate mixed loads as much as possible before getting in line so unloading goes faster once at the drop point.
