When & how
Take the unit to Recycle Works West at 2110 E. Pitman Ave. in Wentzville, open Monday to Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and closed on county holidays, or call Meridian Waste Customer Care at (636) 639-7599 to ask about a large item pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the air conditioner whole and upright rather than dismantling it, because the refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician. A cooling unit never goes in the garbage cart.

Tires are refused in the Wentzville garbage cart, are not on the hauler's large item list, and are listed as unacceptable at the St. Charles County recycling facilities.
City cost & eligibility
No Wentzville curbside or drop-off tire collection is published: the hauler refuses tires in the garbage cart and in the large item program, and St. Charles County lists tires as unacceptable at Recycle Works West, so arrange a separate route before a tire leaves the property.
When & how
Keep tires out of the garbage cart, the large item pile and the recycling cart, and arrange disposal separately.
Get it ready
Store tires flat and dry until a route is arranged. Every program reviewed for this page refuses them, so do not set them out with a scheduled large item or add them to a roll-off load without confirming first.
Wood pallets are not named on any city, hauler or county list, so the route is confirmed with the hauler rather than assumed.
City cost & eligibility
Pallets are not on the large item list, construction material is refused in the garbage cart, and the roll-off container service takes lumber and similar loads while excluding yard waste and concrete, so confirm with Meridian Waste Customer Care at (636) 639-7599 whether a pallet load needs the roll-off service.

Call Meridian Waste Customer Care and describe the pallets and the quantity before booking a pickup or ordering a container.
Get it ready
