A straightforward neighborhood recycling center for Kansas City residents who want to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Locals drop off household paper, cardboard, glass, metal cans and many common plastics; there may also be periodic special programs for electronics or other hard-to-recycle items. Easy to find off Park Drive and used by people doing garage cleanouts as well as regular small loads.
The site is a typical yard-style facility: pull up to an entrance booth/scale area and then circle to the recycling bays. Large roll-off containers and labeled bins sit in rows, often with glass and mixed containers grouped separately. Vehicles sometimes queue on busy weekend mornings, so expect short waits during peak cleanup seasons. Staff will generally direct traffic from the booth, and signage points to where each material should go.
