Recycling Center
Waste Management - Rolling Meadows Landfill and Recycling Center
7351 US-75, Topeka, KS 66618
(866) 909-4458Small but busy recycling center on US-75 that draws people from Topeka and surrounding counties. Locals drop off loads from household cleanouts and small business collections, mostly to keep things out of the landfill. It feels like a working facility rather than a slick storefront.
A single-lane entrance leads to a manned booth and a scale nearby; most cars and trucks pull up to the booth first, then proceed to the recycling bays. The recycling bins and trailers are off to the right a short drive past the entrance, with piles of cardboard and mixed containers stacked in marked receptacles. Concrete pads and large roll-off containers dominate the yard, and during busy times the line can snake back toward the highway.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items sorted by material-paper/cardboard, metal, glass, and plastics-so unloading is quicker and less of a hassle.
- Use a truck or trailer for bulky stuff; smaller vehicles will need extra trips and maneuvering space can be tight.
- Plan to arrive outside peak weekend cleanup hours if possible; spring and fall tend to be the busiest times and lines get long.
