Kansas City, KS trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Thursday.

The day above is an example from one Kansas City address, last checked on September 11, 2026.

On the several holidays that pause service, everyone's pickup that week shifts one day later unless the holiday falls on a weekend.

Trash and recycling must be out by 7:00 AM, and may be placed at the street or curb edge as early as 4:00 PM the day before.

Put trash on one side of the driveway or walkway and recycling on the other so drivers can quickly tell the two apart.

Trash goes within three feet of the street or curb edge in containers that have tight-fitting lids and adequate handles; metal barrels are not accepted, no container may weigh more than 50 pounds, and loose trash is not collected.

Mattresses have to be wrapped in plastic before they go to the curb, and rugs must be rolled up and tied with string, no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds.
