Howie's Trash and Roll is the local drop spot for household trash in Manhattan, KS, at 625 S 10th St. Neighbors and small haulers bring regular loads here for disposal rather than driving out to a regional landfill.
The place looks like a typical town transfer point: a small entrance lane, a weigh scale or booth area, and a few large roll-off containers or compacting areas. Pull up to the booth or scale to get checked in and be prepared to stop again after dumping if charges are by weight. Recycling or drop-off bins are usually grouped to one side, and weekends-especially in spring and fall cleanup times-often mean a short wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose trash with a tarp or tie down lightweight items; wind can turn a truckload into a mess before reaching the container.
- Separate bulky items so they can be unloaded quickly; having a clear plan speeds up the whole process for the next person in line.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings if hauling a full truck - a weekday midday run will usually move faster.
