Louisburg, KS Trash & Recycling: Collection Schedule (2026)

Solid waste service in Louisburg runs through Chapter 15, Article 4 of the City Code. Section 15-402 requires that all solid waste generated in the city be collected, conveyed, and disposed of by the City itself or by a contractor the City has specifically authorized; there is no option to opt out of service entirely. Section 15-403 lets the Governing Body enter a hauling contract of up to five years, and that contract can be made exclusive, meaning a single company holds the city's residential and commercial routes.

Day-to-day administration, including the collection schedule and the fee charged to customers, is set under Section 15-418: the mayor or a designated agent supervises collection and transportation at all times, and with the Governing Body's consent can issue additional rules so the work does not endanger public health or annoy residents. Before those fees take effect, Section 15-420 requires the Governing Body to approve the collector's rates for residential service, though commercial customers may negotiate rates directly with the collector by private contract. Section 15-414 backs the exclusive-contract structure by making it unlawful for anyone other than a City-authorized hauler to collect or transport solid waste within the city limits, though a resident may still haul away their own waste if it is done safely.

Violations of any provision in Article 4, including operating as an unauthorized hauler, are punished under Section 15-419 by referring back to the general penalty in Section 1-116.
