There is no charge for all KCMO residents to drop-off bulky items such as old furniture or mattresses, leaves & brush, tires with or without rims and trash at both sites, and free document shredding is available at both sites as well.

Hazardous waste including automotive products such as antifreeze and oil, flammables, household cleaners, lawn & garden products such as herbicides and pesticides and paint will not be accepted.
Workers will unload residents’ vehicles. Residents are asked to wear masks at all times during the event.
