Meridian Waste on MO-79 in Winfield handles community waste disposal for local residents and small haulers. Located at 751 S, it’s the spot people use when things won’t fit in curbside carts. Expect a no-frills, industrial lot rather than a neat storefront.
Pull up to the entrance where there’s usually room to stop and sort what’s being dropped off; larger trucks need extra turning space. The site is mostly open with containers, piles, and a few concrete pads-plan to walk a short distance from the vehicle. Many facilities like this have a check-in booth and a scale, so it’s common to pause both on the way in and again when leaving. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form.

Before You Go
- Bring tarps and straps for loose or bulky items so nothing blows out during transport or while waiting in line.
- Load similar materials together before getting to the gate to speed unloading and limit time in the drop area.
- Try for weekday afternoons if possible; avoiding weekend mornings cuts down on wait time.
