Waste Facility
Leavenworth Municipal Service Center
790 Thornton St, Leavenworth, KS 66048
(913) 682-0650Small municipal facility on Thornton Street that handles Leavenworth's local trash and typical household drop-offs. Locals, contractors with small loads, and anyone hauling a trailer will use it for quick trips rather than large county landfill runs.
Pull in from 790 Thornton St into a compact lot that feels more like a city service yard than a big regional dump. There is a front booth/office area and several concrete bays or containers for dropping materials; space for maneuvering is limited compared with a county landfill. Vehicles often line up on busy days, so expect to idle for a bit if it’s a weekend or spring cleanup. Loads are processed on site, so have items sorted and ready to unload when it’s your turn.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items before arriving so nothing blows out while waiting in line.
- Unload heavy or awkward items with a partner - the bays are concrete and lifting alone is harder than it looks.
- Avoid mid-morning weekend windows when local spring-cleanup traffic tends to back up the driveway.
