Recycling in De Soto: A Local Guide

De Soto, in Jefferson County, Missouri, has two recycling-related facilities on record. One handles mobile electronics only, while the other is a commercial solid-waste transfer station — so the right choice depends entirely on what you need to drop off.

The ecoATM kiosk at the De Soto Walmart Supercenter (12862 MO-21) lets you sell or recycle old smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players. The self-service kiosk runs daily from 6 AM to midnight (hours follow the store), pays instant cash or digital payment for working and damaged devices alike, and charges no drop-off fee. You must be 18 or older and bring a valid government-issued photo ID for every transaction. It does not accept laptops, large electronics, or any household recyclables.

The WM De Soto Transfer Station (3902 Athena School Rd) is a Waste Management facility that consolidates municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition (C&D) debris for transport to a permitted disposal site. It operates Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 3 PM, and is closed on weekends. This is a commercial transfer station intended for contracted haulers, not a public drop-off recycling center for residential materials. Hazardous waste of any kind is not accepted. Tipping fees are not publicly listed; contact WM at 1-866-299-2825 before hauling a load.
