Mid-Missouri Solid Waste Management District

Mid-Missouri Solid Waste Management District in Columbia is the local spot for dropping off general household trash and likely recycling or yard material. Neighbors, contractors and folks doing cleanups use it when the curbside pickup won’t handle a load.

Drive up to a single entrance off E Broadway and look for an attendant booth near the first pull-up area; expect to stop there for direction. There’s usually a scale somewhere in the drive so vehicles may be weighed in and out. Recycling bins and separate piles for different materials are typically visible from the main entrance, and larger trucks or trailers need room to maneuver. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to back traffic up, so lines can form.
