Bubba Dumps in Raytown is the local spot folks use when the curbside truck won't take something or during big cleanup days. It’s a straightforward, no-frills dump on Ralston Avenue that mainly serves neighborhood residents and small haulers. Expect a place that looks like what it is: piles, bays, and a fenced perimeter next to the street.
Drive up the long driveway to a small entrance booth and a turnoff where vehicles queue to unload. The site is open-air with several large concrete bays and roll-off containers visible from the entrance; trucks back up to the piles to dump. Bring a vehicle that can get close to the unloading area - some spots are gravel and can be bumpy after rain. Weekends and spring cleanup will be noticeably busier, with lines forming at the entrance.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and straps so loose debris stays contained during the drive over; wind can scatter lightweight stuff on Ralston Avenue.
- Have trash sorted as much as possible before pulling in so unloading goes quicker - mixed loads slow things down when deciding where to leave items.
- Use a vehicle with decent ground clearance when the weather’s wet; the access road and parking areas can get muddy and uneven.
