RURAL JO CO KS

If you reside in rural Gardner, Edgerton, Olathe, Spring Hill and Stilwell, KS, you have 2 service packages to choose from that include both curbside trash and recycle pick-up.

Please be sure to place all items out by 7:00 a.m. on your pick-up day.

There are separate trucks for each service that will arrive at different times.

We make accommodations for elderly and disabled households.

Windy days make for a big mess.  Help us help you get rid of your disposables.  Bag it up!  This greatly diminishes fly-away items during collection whether it's done by manual labor or automation.  Thanks so much for your help!
TRASH

Trash is limited to either the 65 or 95 gallon service package you choose (Dec 26-31 up to 5 extra bags of holiday trash picked-up at no additional fee - bagged only)

We can provide you a trash cart or you may use your own container(s) that comply with the size package you choose. If your area is serviced by our automated truck, then you must utilize our trash cart. Please see placement illustration below.

Overage stickers can be purchased at our office: 115 W Warren St, Gardner, KS or call us
