A basic county solid waste site just outside Osage City used by locals hauling household trash, yard debris, and occasional recyclables. Drive out to the address on W 229th St if needing to drop off a truckload or a few bags; farm and homeowner traffic is common here.
The place feels like a working yard rather than a tidy retail lot - expect gravel drives, piles of brush or mulch, and a few metal bins. There’s usually a small entrance area where vehicles stop briefly before being waved through; larger trucks pull in, tip, and drive back out on the same route. Recycling containers tend to sit off to one side while trash areas and compost or brush piles occupy the opposite side. Busy times cluster on weekends and spring cleanup days, so lines can form and traffic moves slowly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps; loose trash and branches can blow out on the drive and make things messier for everyone.
- Bring something that shows local residency (driver’s license or mail) in case it’s requested - many county sites check residents at the gate.
- Sort materials at home if possible: keep recyclables separate and bag trash so unloading is quicker and fewer trips around the site are needed.
