Mc Pherson Area Solid Waste is the local spot outside McPherson for household trash, yard waste and basic recycling drop-offs. People from town and nearby rural areas use it for weekend cleanups and routine disposal. The site sits at 1481 Pueblo Rd, easy to find off the main roads out of town.
Drive up to a simple entrance area with a small booth and traffic flow for pull-through unloading; expect to stop briefly at the booth before heading into the drop-off zones. The place is open-air with large containers and piles for different materials, and vehicles will need to back up to drop points or drive onto small ramps for unloading. Lines are common on weekends and in spring when everyone is cleaning out yards and garages, so plan for a bit of wait time. The overall feel is functional and rural-gravel lots, heavy equipment around, and clear visual separation between trash, recycling and yard debris.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down loose loads and bring a tarp; wind can scatter light debris during unloading.
- Bring gloves and something to help lift or slide heavy bags-there’s usually no hand-holding at the drop point.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings in spring if a shorter wait is important; midweek tends to be quieter.
