Small neighborhood dump that locals use for regular cleanouts and yard debris. It's the kind of place drivers from north and east Kansas City swing by when hauling a trailer or a pickup. Located on Blue Parkway, it's clearly visible from the street and gets steady local traffic.
Drive up the lane to a small entrance booth where staff will direct where to pull up; there's usually a scale just past that booth so vehicles are weighed on the way in or out. The site has open tipping areas and a few roll-off spots rather than covered bays, so loads are tipped outdoors and sorted on the concrete pads. Expect weekend slowdowns, especially during spring and fall cleanup times, and bring something to secure loose material since it can be windy out on the pad.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loose trash tied down or in containers before getting there; loose debris blows around and makes loading/unloading slower.
- Position trailers with the tailgate aligned to the tipping area so backing is easy-turning room is tighter than it looks from the road.
- Bring gloves and a tarp to cover anything that might spill on the drive home; parking and walking between piles can be dusty and uneven.
