Waste Facility

WM of St. Louis (DeSoto Location)

3902 Athena School Rd., Desoto, MO 63020

800-963-4776

Small- to mid-size regional waste drop-off in De Soto, used mostly by local residents and seasonal cleanups. It’s the St. Louis-area WM site for getting rid of household junk and construction debris if driving from town or nearby counties.

A simple drive-in layout with a staffed entrance booth and heavy-equipment areas visible from the road. Vehicles usually pull up to a scale or booth area first and then are directed to drop-off piles or compactors; expect to stop, unload, and then leave by the exit scale. The yard is industrial - large containers, piles of material, and gravel or paved drive lanes; big trucks and loaders move around so take care when walking. Weekend and spring-cleanup traffic tends to be heavier, so lines and short delays are common.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose items in the truck bed and cover dusty loads to avoid debris while driving to and from the site.
  • Sort bulky trash and recyclables in the vehicle before getting to the booth to speed up unloading and reduce back-and-forth trips.
  • Bring gloves, sturdy shoes, and a handtruck or straps for heavy items; parking spots near the drop-off areas fill up first.
