KCMO Community Recycling Center, Red Bridge (South)

5200 E. Red Bridge Rd

(816) 561-1087

Wednesday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Bridging The Gap manages the Red Bridge (South) center on East Red Bridge Road, one of three KCMO community recycling drop-off centers. It takes every material accepted in Kansas City curbside recycling plus extras, and it operates Wednesday through Saturday. Red Bridge accepts cardboard, mixed paper, paperboard, paper cartons, hardcover books, glass in any color, tin cans, aluminum foil and pie plates, and plastic bottles, jugs, and tubs coded #1, #2, #4, or #5. Small electronics (phones, laptops, tablets, cameras, e-readers) and OEM toner and inkjet cartridges also go in. This site and the Deramus center take scrap metal such as fence, sheet metal, bike frames, and electrical wire, and Red Bridge alone takes packing peanuts and bubble wrap. Plastic film goes to the manager on site, and frozen food packaging stays out because metro Kansas City cannot recycle it.
