Show-Me Regional Landfill is the big burial site outside Warrensburg that both households and haulers use when trash needs to go for good. Located at 230 SE 421st Rd, it serves a wider area than a neighborhood drop-off and sees everything from pickup-bed loads to roll-off trucks.
Drive up to a manned entrance/scale area where vehicles are typically weighed - plan to stop there both entering and exiting. The property looks like a working landfill: long berms, active cells, and gravel roads with trucks coming and going. Pull up to the scale house, get directed where to dump, and then follow the internal roads to the tipping face; signs and flagging usually mark traffic flow. Because this is a regional landfill, tipping fees are charged by weight or load type rather than a flat single-item price, and commercial loads are handled alongside residential ones.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarps work - loose material can blow off while driving and can get rejected at the drop point.
- Bring a clear plan for unloading so the driver can get in and out quickly; larger trucks may need extra room to maneuver.
- Expect the site to be busier on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so allow extra time for lines at the scale and tipping area.
