Recycling in Willard: A Local Guide
Willard is a growing city in Greene County, Missouri, northwest of Springfield. It has two waste and recycling facilities with very different purposes — a free community drop-off site for everyday recyclables and a pay-per-use City of Springfield sanitary landfill — giving residents options for routine recycling as well as bulk disposal.
Willard Recycling Center at 613 Tower Rd is a City-operated, free drop-off site for Willard residents. It uses GFL single-stream (co-mingled) containers, so no sorting is required before drop-off. The main rules: no glass in the bins, cardboard must be broken down flat, and only recyclables (never trash) may be deposited. Hours are not published online — contact City Hall at (417) 742-3033 or visit cityofwillard.org for current schedule. Note that in August 2026 the City warned residents that ongoing misuse could lead to the facility's permanent closure.
Springfield Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill at 3545 W Farm Road 34 is the City of Springfield's municipal solid-waste disposal facility. This is a paid service, not a free recycling center: the tipping fee is $43.85 per ton with a $20 minimum per vehicle, and the facility is open Monday–Friday 7 AM–4 PM and Saturday 7 AM–3 PM (closed six major holidays). It accepts household garbage, construction and demolition debris, and clean fill, and participates in the City's mattress recycling program ($20 per piece for clean, dry, uninfested mattresses). Yard waste, whole tires, major appliances, and hazardous materials are prohibited by state law.
