Merriam trash service should come with a straight answer, especially with the citywide residential program starting in 2026. KC Disposal can talk through current pickup needs and larger disposal work without making the process feel bigger than it is.
When pickup matters, excuses are never good enough. KC Disposal keeps service grounded in the work that has to happen at the curb.
Merriam is part of the Kansas City metro, where our team lives in, drives through, and works to keep clean.
You should not need a script to understand your trash service. KC Disposal gives Merriam customers plain answers before the curb gets crowded.
Merriam households can choose a 65-gallon black-lid cart sized for roughly 5 kitchen bags or a 95-gallon cart sized for 7. Bag every item, keep it inside the provided cart, and close the lid before collection.
Recycling is unlimited with the provided 65- or 95-gallon green-lid cart. Flatten cardboard, bundle extra boxes into sections no larger than 3 by 4 feet, and place loose overflow in a small box beside the cart.
Residents get six bags or bundles from January 1st through the end of September. Starting October 1st through the end of the year, they get 10 bags or bundles.
Set everything out by 6 a.m. and keep carts on the driveway. Leave 4 feet between carts, 4 to 6 feet from mailboxes, and 12 feet from parked vehicles to give the automated arm enough clearance.
A few quick answers help us match you with the right service.

Merriam Public Works collects large items during the third full week of April and October.
Place approved items at the curb before 7 a.m. on your scheduled day. The city does not accept yard waste, hazardous materials, or construction debris through this collection. When the timing or material does not fit the city program, a roll-off dumpster may provide another disposal path.
No. Roll-off dumpsters serve a different purpose than the trash service Merriam, KS residents use for recurring household collection. The citywide program does not replace project-based disposal options for renovations, cleanouts, or debris that cannot fit inside a standard cart.
Yes. Under our current trash service in Merriam, KS, yard-waste pickups during January and February must be scheduled before bags are placed at the curb. Call 816-388-9739 or email kcdisposal@gmail.com to arrange the collections.
Extra trash and yard-waste bags require an overage sticker under KC Disposal’s current Merriam service. Stickers can be purchased from the KC Disposal office or mailed after calling 816-388-9739. Large items and project debris may require a different service rather than an overage sticker.
Yes. KC Disposal may continue providing the trash service that Merriam, KS residents use until the citywide program begins on November 1, 2026, as long as the company continues serving the address.
After that date, GFL will handle residential trash, recycling, and yard waste for properties included in the city program. Certain HOA properties are excluded unless the association opts in.
Whether you need pickup, a dumpster, or help choosing a service, KC Disposal can point you in the right direction.
