Waste Management of Kansas has announced that residential routes for the metropolitan area, including Wyandotte County, will begin at 6 a.m. next week.
The earlier collection schedule will be continued through June, July and August, according to Waste Management, because of the extreme heat in the forecast. The schedule will continue through Sept. 1.
A Waste Management spokesman stated the safety of employees is one of the top priorities. The 30-day outlook for the metropolitan area shows periods with temperatures greater than 90 degrees.
Residents are asked to place trash and recycling carts at the curb by 6 a.m., according to the spokesman.
