Trash, yard waste and household hazardous waste all go here. The operator doesn't post prices online, so call or text (816) 287-2221 before a big load. Hazardous waste is free for Lee's Summit residents.
Free hazardous waste drop-off
Lee's Summit residents drop off household hazardous waste free, weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no appointment, or Saturdays 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. by appointment. Residents of other cities in the regional HHW program are free too; everyone else pays $2 a pound. Bring an ID showing your city of residence. The limit is 100 pounds, containers must be 5 gallons or smaller, and explosives, ammunition and fireworks aren't taken. Business waste is turned away, including nonprofits, churches and owners of two or more rental homes. Usable products go to a free reuse store; check in at the scale house first.
What the park takes and when it's closed
The park recycles paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, aluminum, batteries, electronics, used oil, mattresses, furniture, appliances, treated lumber, tires and metal, plus asphalt, concrete, brick and other construction debris, and turns yard waste into compost and mulch.
It closes on Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, and in severe weather; on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve it's open 7:30 a.m. to noon.
Missouri law keeps major appliances, car batteries, used oil and yard waste out of landfills, and allows tires only if they're cut, chipped or shredded. Stores that sell tires have to take your old ones back, one for one, when you buy new ones (they can charge a fee).
