Springfield Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill
Recycling Center in Willard, Missouri
About This Location
The Springfield Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill, located at 3545 W. Farm Road 34 in Willard, Missouri, is the City of Springfield's municipal solid-waste disposal facility and a cornerstone of the region's integrated solid-waste management system. This is a pay-to-use sanitary landfill — not a free drop-off recycling center — where every vehicle is charged a weight-based tipping fee of $43.85 per ton with a $20 minimum charge. The facility accepts municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, clean fill, and certain special wastes by prior written approval, while state and federal law ban yard waste, whole tires, major appliances, hazardous materials, and other regulated items from the site. As an added service, the landfill is also one of three City locations offering mattress and box-spring recycling for a flat per-piece fee. Cash, check, and credit/debit cards are all accepted at the gate.
