Riley County Solid Waste Division

Riley County Solid Waste Division is the local solid waste facility on Tuttle Creek Boulevard that residents and small haulers use for household trash, yard debris, and basic recycling drop-off. Located in Manhattan, it handles a range of everyday residential loads rather than large commercial hauls. People come here when a regular curbside pickup won't do or when cleaning out the garage.

The site has an entrance booth and a vehicle scale common to county solid waste facilities; pull up to the booth first for direction. After that, traffic moves forward to various drop-off areas and sorting zones-trucks and trailers share the lanes, so watch for backing vehicles. The lot is large and outdoors, with open piles and metal containers rather than indoor bays. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to slow things down, so expect some waiting if it's busy.
