Trash and recycling collections are done each Monday morning at curbside. Yard Waste is collected on Mondays year-round. Materials are to be put out only after dusk the night before unless the homeowner is going to be away. Be considerate. Put trash out after dusk. Trash and recycling costs are paid by Mission Woods through taxes. Remember this when comparing the mill rate of Mission Woods to those of other cities, most of which arrange for trash through homes associations dues.
Generally, if any of the following Federal holidays fall on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, pickup will be on Tuesday: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Check the Waste Management website for detailed information.
Two categories of materials are acceptable: "recyclable mixed paper" and "recyclable commingled containers" (see below). Organize all recycling material into these two categories, place them in the recycle bin, and put them at curbside. Bins may be obtained by calling Waste Management at 913-631-3300 or email: kccustomerservice@wm.com. Click to learn more about what materials you can and cannot recycle.
Mission Woods schedules annual pickups for large items that are not appropriate for weekly trash collection. Items must be at curbside by 7:00 a.m. Waste Management cannot, for insurance reasons, assist in moving material to the curb for these pickups. Construction dumpster or hazardous waste materials are not included. A reminder is traditionally sent to all residents.
Residents can privately arrange for a pickup by scheduling Waste Management several days in advance. You will be charged for this service. Call Waste Management at 913-631-3300 or email: kccustomerservice@wm.com to arrange.
The City contracts with CRUSH GLASS to provide curbside glass recycling. Pickups are normally twice a month on Fridays.
All oils and oil-based products, solvents, pesticides, flammables, and many household chemicals are hazardous materials in regards to trash collection. You must take hazardous items to a designated site. Check out the Johnson County's Department of Health and Environment Household Hazardous Waste Appointment Scheduler to learn more.
