Pleasant Hill residents disposed of 6,245 lbs of household hazardous waste in 2025 after rejoining regional program
Summary
City staff reported that Pleasant Hill residents disposed of 6,245 pounds of household hazardous waste in 2025 through the Mid-America Regional Council program; 71 vehicles used the service during the short participation window and staff said a mobile collection event will be hosted locally in summer 2026.
City staff updated the council on Pleasant Hill’s return to the Mid-America Regional Council household hazardous waste program. Even though the city rejoined mid-year in 2025, staff reported residents disposed of 6,245 pounds of hazardous material at permanent collection sites in Lee’s Summit and Kansas City, with 71 vehicles participating during the period the program accepted Pleasant Hill residents.
Staff said the 2026 calendar includes hosting a mobile collection event in Pleasant Hill (anticipated in summer 2026 at the Cass County Fairgrounds) and that residents may continue to use the regional permanent collection sites if they prefer not to wait for the local mobile event.
Councilors asked how many people used the service and staff confirmed the 71-car count; staff invited council members and the public to review the packet summary for a full breakdown.
Next steps: staff will finalize the mobile-event calendar for 2026 and follow up with logistics and volunteer needs if the council supports hosting a local event.
