St. Joseph City Sanitary Landfill

St. Joseph City Sanitary Landfill, 9431 50th Road SE, St. Joseph, 64507, Missouri

Get Directions

St. Joseph City Sanitary Landfill on 50th Road SE is where the city brings bulky trash and other items that don’t go in curbside pickup. People from town and local businesses come with trucks or trailers to unload at the city landfill.

Drive up to a small entrance with a scale and a booth; vehicles usually stop to be weighed before and after dumping. Inside is gravel lanes, mounded cells of compacted material and the occasional large truck or loader working, so expect dust and heavy equipment noise. Pull into the tipping area when directed, unload, then head back across the scale - tipping fees are assessed by weight rather than per item. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Tie down tarps and loose items before leaving home; wind and passing trucks can scatter debris quickly.
  • Bring someone to help with backing or lifting when using a trailer - getting into the tipping spot can be tight and awkward.
  • Treat commercial and residential loads differently: municipal landfills commonly separate them and charge by weight, so have any business or billing info ready if hauling for work.
