Solid Waste Facility

McPherson Area Solid Waste Utility

1431 17th Ave, McPherson, KS 67460

(620) 241-6559

A county solid waste site just outside town that people from McPherson and nearby rural areas use for household trash, yard waste, and basic recycling. It looks like a working facility rather than a storefront, so expect a no-nonsense feel and trucks coming and going.

Drive up the short access road to a small entrance area with a booth or gate where vehicles pause before heading into the main yard. Open piles, roll-off containers, and a few large bins are common - pull alongside what matches the load and someone on site will point you where to go if needed. The place is spread out with gravel drives and cleared spots for dropping materials, and weekends or spring cleanup weekends often see lines of pickups and trailers waiting their turn.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads so things don’t fly off while driving; it’s dusty and windy some days.
  • Back a trailer in straight and park where other trucks have parked - that makes unloading quicker and keeps traffic moving.
  • Expect vehicles to move slowly through the yard; give operators room and follow hand signals or directions from staff on site.
