(From the City of Joplin)
The City of Joplin announces new pricing and hours for their residential bulky items drop off program at the Republic Services Transfer Station in Galena, Kansas. Joplin residential trash customers may drop off approved bulky items, brush and tree limbs and automotive passenger tires at the trash transfer station located at 1715 East Front Street, also known as Old Route 66.
The new program hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8 a.m.to 11:30 a.m. and 12 noon to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 Noon.
The new pricing ranges from $10 to $13 per load. Loads that also include tree limbs and brush range from $17 to $24 depending on the trailer length. Tires cost $4.50 each with a limit of five tires per trip. Any load over 2,000 pounds is not part of this subsidized program. Joplin residential trash customers must bring their residential City of Joplin utility bill for sewer and trash plus matching identification with them to the transfer station in order to receive the subsidized price.
Items that are not accepted include liquids, chemicals, hazardous materials, appliances, commercial waste, lead acid batteries, regular weekly trash, leaves and grass clippings. For information on how to dispose of these items, contact the City of Joplin at 417-624-0820 ext. 501.
Mary Anne Phillips, Joplin’s Recycling Coordinator said, “Joplin residents are still able to set out bulky items with their weekly trash service, however the transfer station program offers a subsidized rate for residents who may have a large amount of items they would like to dispose of at one time.”
The new hours and rates went into effect on April 1. For more information about the transfer station, residents can call Republic Services at 620-783-5841.
