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.

Scrap Yards in Kansas City: FAQ
Do scrap yards in Kansas City, MO pay cash?
Many states restrict cash payment for scrap metal, especially copper and catalytic converters, and require a photo ID and a waiting period. Expect a check or electronic payment at some yards. Call ahead to confirm how a yard pays.
What do I need to bring to sell scrap metal?
Bring a valid government photo ID. Many states also require a vehicle plate number and, for some items, proof of ownership. Separate metals by type before you go, since mixed loads are paid at the lowest grade.
How are scrap prices set in Kansas City, MO?
Yards price scrap by the pound or ton, based on commodity markets such as COMEX copper, minus their processing costs. Prices change daily, so call two or three yards before selling a large load.
