Prairie View Regional Waste Facility
Prairie View Regional Waste Facility, 16 East State Highway Dd, Lamar, 64759, Missouri
Prairie View Regional Waste Facility sits just off State Highway Dd in Lamar and handles local household and yard disposal. Neighbors and small contractors bring pickups, trailers, and carloads here when clearing out basements or trimming trees.
It feels like a working yard - open lots, piles or containers, and a drive-up area with a small entrance booth and a scale, which is common at regional sites. Pull up to the booth area first, then move on to the scale and unloading spots; many places charge by weight so expect a stop on the way out. There’s usually room to maneuver a truck or trailer, but weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up. Keep an eye out for uneven ground and stray debris while moving around the yard.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home - wind and traffic can scatter things and slow the whole process.
- Sort items roughly by type (metal, brush, bulk trash) before reaching the unloading area so dumping is quicker.
- Try for a weekday morning if possible; weekend afternoons tend to have the longest lines.
