How disposal works in Missouri
In Missouri, several cities run their own landfills and post their rates: $43.85 a ton at Springfield's Noble Hill Landfill, $50 at St. Joseph's and $55 at Columbia's, with minimums of $20 to $25. City transfer stations can cost more: St. Peters charges the public $125 a ton.
State law keeps major appliances, car batteries, used oil and yard waste out of landfills, and tires must be cut or shredded first, so most sites take those items separately or send you elsewhere.
We're writing Missouri up place by place: 5 places are live, and our guide to what it costs to dump in Missouri puts their rates side by side. The finder covers every active landfill and transfer station that DNR lists as open to the public, plus DNR's household hazardous waste sites.
