Harrison Transfer Station is the local transfer point just off Rte 291 in Harrisonville, used by residents and small haulers who don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. It’s the kind of place where trash and recyclables get dropped, compacted, and then hauled out to a larger site.
There’s an entrance lane with a booth and room to pull up so trucks and pickups can be directed where to go. Loads are typically weighed and compacted before they leave the site, so be prepared for a short stop while everything is sorted and moved. The site feels industrial-concrete bays, large compacting equipment, and drive-through spaces for backing trailers. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually mean more cars and a slower flow.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials already sorted as much as possible so unloading goes quicker and doesn’t hold up the line.
- Secure loose items with a tarp or straps; wind and traffic through the site can shift loads during unloading.
- Plan for extra time on Saturdays and during seasonal cleanups since traffic through the station can back up.
