Kansas City, MO - Residents in Gladstone, are facing potential delays in trash pickup this week as the city's sanitation department contends with a significant increase in waste volume. On Friday, January 17, officials announced via the city's app that trash collection is running behind schedule, citing approximately 60% more trash than usual for this time of year.
Kansas City officials reassured residents that efforts are underway to expedite collections and urged patience as crews work diligently to catch up. Residents are advised to leave their trash out for pickup, as crews aim to service all areas affected by the backlog.
In addition to the current challenges, the city also reminded residents that trash pickup will be delayed by one day next week due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday, January 20. Normal trash collection schedules will resume following the holiday, with pickups shifted to the subsequent day throughout the week.
For more information and updates on trash collection schedules, residents are encouraged to visit the official Kansas City, MO website at kcmo.gov/city-hall/departments/trash.
Stay informed and prepared as Kansas City works to manage the increased demand for sanitation services during this period.
