Environmental Services

The City of Lee's Summit
offers numerous services that aid our community and the environment.

The Solid Waste Division of the
Public Works Department is responsible for most of these services, including our Resource Recovery Park where yard waste, mulch, and compost are processed; our drop-off Recycling Centers where glass, paper, aluminum, tin, cardboard, and plastic recycling is offered; and our Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility where unwanted HHW is collected and properly disposed. The Public Works Department is also responsible for the City's Adopt-A-Street Program and addressing the City's stormwater issues.

The Water Utilities Department ensures that our demands for safe drinking water are met and provides tips on how to conserve water.
