Recycling in Kansas City: A Local Guide
This page lists 14 recycling centers and drop-off sites in Kansas City, Missouri, from the Deramus Avenue area to Northland locations along N Main Street. Alongside these facilities, Kansas City, Missouri runs a city-wide curbside program: single-family homes and buildings with six or fewer units get weekly trash and unlimited recycling collection on the same day, using the City-issued recycling cart with the lid fully closed. Program details and your collection day are published by KCMO Public Works. For other Missouri cities, see our Missouri recycling directory.
Kansas City's listings skew toward specialized drop-off: yard waste, scrap and electronics rather than full single-stream service.

For scrap metal, KC Iron & Metal and Langley Recycling Inc. are long-standing yards, while MRC - Certified Electronics Recycling handles e-waste.
