Waste Facility
Lee's Summit Resource Recovery Park
2101 SE Hamblen Rd, Lee's Summit, MO 64082
(816) 550-1612Lee's Summit Resource Recovery Park is the municipal drop-off area on SE Hamblen Road that locals use for getting rid of household and yard refuse. Neighbors, landscapers with small trailers, and anyone hauling a truckload will likely end up here when clearing out a garage or doing a big yard job.
Expect a gated entrance with an attendant booth and a clear drive lane that leads into a large, open yard. Trucks and trailers pull up to various drop points and there’s usually room to maneuver larger vehicles. Signage and piles or large containers mark where different materials go, and weekends-especially during spring cleanup-tend to be the busiest times. Lines can form at the gate, so plan extra time if arriving midday or on a Saturday.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have items loosely sorted and ready to toss before getting to the gate so unloading goes faster for everyone.
- Bring help or a ramp if hauling heavy items; some drop spots require backing up and lifting into a container.
- Avoid peak weekend hours when possible-early weekday mornings are generally calmer if a quicker trip is needed.
