Get your junk ready

If you live east of Antioch, get your junk ready.

Get that unwanted junk from your garage, backyard, attic or basement and be prepared for Overland Park's annual large item fall cleanup.

Beginning Saturday, Sept. 19, and for the following two Saturdays, Overland Park is conducting its annual large item pickup.

Each year the large item program serves one-half of the city, using Antioch as the dividing line. It alternates east and west of Antioch. In 2014, it was conducted west of Antioch. More than 1.8 million pounds of material was collected at a cost of $136,663 in 2014.

This year it is for households east of Antioch.

Dates for this year are:

Sept. 19, north city limits to 87th Street
Sept. 26, College Boulevard to south city limits
Oct. 3, 87th Street to College Boulevard

You are able to place items at the curb no later than 7 a.m. the day of pickup. Do not place items at the curb prior to the Friday before your collection date. Appliances may be collected separately from other items.

Up to two pickup loads of items placed in an orderly fashion at the curb is allowed per household. Any excess will not be collected. Put out only those items not regularly collected by your private trash service.

No yard waste will be collected.
