As the weather warms, take some time to clear the clutter!
This spring, the City is offering a variety of events to keep your unused items out of the landfill.
Be sure to check our website at opkansas.org/Events to learn more about what’s accepted at each event, see the recycling fees and make appointments for some events.

Don’t forget that your trash hauler is responsible for providing an annual, no-cost, curbside bulky item removal from your home. Some haulers provide a scheduled day for customers, and others pick up large bulky items on demand. Work with your trash hauler to learn more about curbside bulky item removal.
