WCA Kansas City Transfer and Recycling

WCA Kansas City Transfer and Recycling is a recycling center at 7801 E Truman Rd that locals and small haulers use to drop off material they don't want in the regular trash. It feels like an industrial yard-big containers, trucks coming and going, and a lot of forklifts and roll-offs for processing. People swinging by are usually residents with car- or pickup-sized loads and occasional contractors with bigger loads.

Expect a large lot with a clearly marked entrance and an entrance booth where traffic gets directed; there’s often a scale involved so most vehicles stop twice - in and out. The site focuses on diverting items from landfill and typically handles the kinds of curbside recyclables most people have, and some centers here also run special programs for bulk or hard-to-recycle items - check with the site for the exact list. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a wait then. The ground is mostly concrete and gravel, so wear sensible shoes and be ready to hand off or sort materials at the drop-off points.
