Summary

Overland Park runs no municipal trash service and has no citywide pickup day. Residents and homes associations contract directly with one of the city's permitted private haulers, and that hauler sets the collection day, holiday shifts, and price.

All Residential Solid Waste properly placed for Collection by the Residential Customer shall be collected at least weekly. Provided, however, Yard Waste and Bulky Waste shall be collected as specified hereafter.

Full Breakdown

The city licenses haulers rather than collecting waste. As of the May 2026 solid waste study there were 18 permitted haulers, with non-HOA households paying roughly $30 to $44 a month and some HOA blocks paying about $18.51 for the same service. City code sets the floor: trash weekly, recycling weekly, yard waste weekly for at least 40 weeks a year, one bulky pickup annually. Holiday slides and the day of the week come from the hauler. Council voted 11-0 on May 18, 2026 to set a public hearing, tentatively August 2026, on a city-run or city-contracted system; under K.S.A. 12-2036 that path carries an 18-month waiting period, putting the earliest start at January 2029.

Violations & Fines

Trash uncollected six business days after the contracted day is treated as delinquent; report it through OPCares for city follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is my trash day in Overland Park?

The city does not assign one. Your day comes from whichever hauler you or your HOA hired. Find your hauler on the city's permitted list at opkansas.gov/trash-haulers, then check that company's schedule.

Who is my hauler if I live in an HOA?

Many Overland Park homes associations contract one hauler for the whole subdivision and bill it through dues. Ask your HOA board before signing up for individual service.

My trash was never picked up. Who do I call?

Call your hauler first. If it stays uncollected about six business days past your contracted day, file a report through the city's OPCares customer service center.
