The City now provides residents with one consolidated collection day for all solid waste services - trash, yard waste and recycling. This replaces our old system of collecting yard waste on Mondays and trash and recycling Tuesdays through Fridays. Yard waste and recycling continue to be collected separately from household trash. The only difference is that residents now set out all materials at the curb on the same day of the week.
Olathe residents wanting to recycle their old household computers and other electronics are able to do so through the City's E-Waste Recycling Program. This program is available to Olathe residential sanitation customers only. Download a copy of the program flier.
