Trash and recycling delayed at KCK homes

Waste Management will not collect residential trash and recycling on Wednesday, Feb. 2, according to a news release from the Unified Government.

Residential trash and recycling collection will be delayed by one day this week:
• If your normal day is Wednesday, place your items at the curb or street edge on Thursday, Feb. 3.
• If your normal day is Thursday, place your items at the curb or street edge on Friday, Feb. 4.
• If your normal day is Friday, place your items at the curb or street edge on Saturday, Feb. 5.

Due to low temperatures and the heavy snowfall anticipated on Wednesday, Feb. 2, residents should prepare for the possibility of additional delays, according to the announcement.

More information will follow if residential trash and recycling services are further delayed by hazardous weather.

“This is shaping up to be a very challenging storm,” said Dave Reno, Public Works’ community engagement officer, “Although we do not anticipate further delays this week, residents should prepare for the possibility of their trash and recycling collection being pushed back another day later this week. Public Works extends its thanks to everyone for their patience during this storm – keep your eyes on the Unified Government’s website and social media for updates as we move forward.”
