From the city's walk-in trash disposal page. The resident rate covers up to 3 tons a year, and the cardholder has to be there. A resident load over 800 pounds moves to the $125 minimum. Only one vehicle on the scale at a time; two vehicles pay two minimums.
Recycle City's trash floor takes no tires, yard waste, paint cans with paint in them, engine oil or other flammable liquids, asbestos, sealed drums, gas cylinders or hazardous chemicals, not even a small amount, and no fiberglass boats. Vehicles need valid plates; out-of-state and rental vehicles need the driver's license too.
Earth Centre, 115 Ecology Drive, takes yard waste weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Residents get 10 cubic yards a year free with their Resident Privilege Card; non-residents and businesses pay posted fees.
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).
