Coronavirus Affects City Services
To prevent the spread of coronavirus in our community, Johnson County Government has ordered residents to stay at home except for essential needs, beginning Tuesday, March 24 for 30 days.
The Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, Recycling Center, and playgrounds and shelters at City parks are closed, and many other City services are affected by this order.
Bulky Item Pickup
Bulky Item Pickup
Each year the city provides a bulky item pickup to half of Overland Park using Antioch as the dividing line.

Please have your bulky trash items at the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. the day of, but no sooner than 5:00 p.m. the day before your scheduled pickup date.
2020 Pickup Schedule
Bulky item pickup will serve single-family through four-plex homes on the west side of Antioch in September and October of 2020. Please check back for finalized pickup dates.
Homes east of Antioch were served during 2019’s bulky item pickup service and are scheduled for service again in 2021.
