Excelsior Springs Recycling Center

A small recycling center in Excelsior Springs where locals drop off household recyclables and the occasional small business load. Used mostly by residents looking to keep paper, cardboard, bottles and cans out of the trash, it feels like a municipal spot rather than a commercial transfer yard.

Pull into a simple yard with roll-off bins and collection containers rather than a big processing plant. There’s usually a small booth or attendant area near the entrance and separate containers for paper, cardboard and mixed containers; expect to walk a short distance from the drop-off to the bins. Trucks and trailers come through, so watch for backing vehicles and have items ready to unload. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, with a line at the gate during peak hours.
