The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Olathe runs its own residential collection and pairs it with a bulky item service and two public drop-off sites. Trash and recycling carts go to the curb before 7 a.m. on the collection day, recycling runs every other week on the same day, and yard waste is collected every week into compostable paper bags or the City yard cart, separately from the trash. Anything too large for the carts is booked as a bulk waste pick-up on the regular trash day: the customer schedules it through the online utility account or on 913-971-9311, keeps everything within eight feet of the curb and clear of poles, trees, sidewalks and gutters, and pays a charge measured by the loading time, with tires and cooling appliances carrying their own published amounts. Residents can also take household material to the transfer station on South Valley Road, yard waste and recycling to the Community Recycling Center on Hedge Lane, and household chemicals, paint, batteries and electronic waste to the household hazardous waste facility on South Robinson Drive by appointment.
