A small disposal site out on MO-135 in Gravois Mills that mainly serves local homeowners and folks clearing out boats, barns, or yards. It sits right off the highway so most traffic is pickup trucks and small trailers from around the lake area.
Like many rural disposal sites in Missouri, access is from a single paved driveway off the highway and there’s a clearly marked entrance area to pull into. Vehicles usually line up to an attendant booth or scale area before proceeding to the drop-off pads or roll-off containers. The lot is a mix of gravel and paved surfaces with piles of various materials visible from the road; expect a working, utilitarian look rather than anything landscaped. Weekends and spring cleanup times typically see the longest lines, so plan for some wait time then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps - loads from trailers and pickups can shift on the drive in and many people secure their load before entering.
- Have vehicle and trailer access in mind: longer trailers may need extra room to turn, so approach slowly and give yourself space to maneuver.
- Avoid peak weekend mornings if possible; midweek or later in the afternoon tends to be less crowded in small-town facilities.
