Recycling centers in Wheatland

The Wheatland Solid Waste Transfer Station in the Town of Wheatland, Platte County, opened in 2017, replacing the old landfill. It is open to all residents and businesses of Platte County, with specific hours of operation from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on weekdays and 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturdays. The station provides each residence with a 96-gallon rolling can or access to a 300-gallon shared dumpster for trash disposal, with specific guidelines on where to place the containers for collection. Prohibited items for disposal include construction debris, hazardous waste, appliances, furniture, shingles, carpet, metal, mattresses, and ashes. Green waste collection sites are available for grass clippings, leaves, and small branches, with plastic bags strictly prohibited. Rates for disposal vary depending on the type of item, with some items accepted for free recycling such as green waste, lead acid batteries, metal, paints, and used oil. Specific instructions are provided for items not accepted at the Transfer Station, including asbestos, dead animals, shingles, and tires over 24.5 inches.
