S M Ball Waste Disposal is the local disposal site serving Perry and nearby rural residents. Folks bring household and small-load trash here rather than hauling all the way to a regional landfill.
This being a disposal site in Kansas, expect a utilitarian setup - gravel or packed-earth driveways, piles or roll-off containers, and an entrance point where vehicles pause. Larger sites often have a booth and a scale; smaller, rural drop-offs can be unstaffed with posted instructions. Pull up slowly and follow the traffic flow; there will usually be spots to back up to containers or a tipping area. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to see the longest lines, so plan accordingly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to secure loose loads - wind can scatter trash on open drives and in public view.
- Have your load arranged so unloading is quick: tarp off bulky items and know which side of the truck will be easiest to tip.
- Leave space for others when parking; big trucks need room to maneuver and staff (if present) appreciate clear access.
