Overland Park uses licensed private haulers, not city collection. Residential carts cap at 96 gallons, stay closed and leak-proof, and must be garaged or screened from the street except during the 24-hour setout window.
Chapter 7.36 requires every dwelling unit and business to keep enough containers, stored so they do not attract rodents or flies, create off-site odor, or look unsightly. Residential containers must be leak-proof and rain-proof, kept closed except when in use, and no larger than 96 gallons. Outside the collection window, carts sit inside a garage or screened from any right-of-way and adjoining property behind the building line; an approved cart may instead sit within two feet of the residence unscreened (7.36.180 D). Licensed haulers must collect solid waste and unlimited recycling weekly, yard waste weekly for at least 40 weeks a year, and bulky waste at least once annually.
Public offense punishable under 1.12.010 by up to $500 or six months, each day separate; unsightly storage also abatable as a nuisance under Chapter 7.04.
