Trash Service
Posted on Aug 16th, 2022
Gardner Disposal - effective May 1, 2022
TRASH DAY -- Gardner collects trash, recycling, and yard waste (in proper brown paper bags, max 6 bags per pick up) on Fridays. PLACE Trash Containers curbside no sooner than 6:00 PM the night before pickup day (Thursday evening). [Note - it is the City of Overland Park and College Meadows who specifies the TIME), Place containers 3 feet apart, as separate trucks pickup mechanically. (3 Feet apart is the required room for mechanical arms to maneuver.) All containers must be returned to an out-of-sight location (preferably your garage, or behind a fence where they can't be seen from the street) by the end of the pick up day. NOTE: All thin plastic bags (like from grocery stores) are not recyclable.
YARD Waste -- all yard waste must be in the large brown paper bags (approximately 4 ft tall) which you can purchase at most home or hardware stores. We are lucky that Gardner Disposal will take up to 8 bags on any trash day, March through November. December through February, you can put out up to 8 yard waste bags on the last pickup date of the month.
*HOLIDAY Schedule - Gardner Disposal is closed on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Service will be delayed by one day during weeks that contain these holidays. That will mean a Saturday pickup day, so wait until Friday evening to put your trash out.
ONE BULK ITEM PICK UP ALLOWED ON THE LAST PICKUP DAY OF EVERY MONTH - Freon-related appliances, concrete or construction debris will not be accepted. Any additional items will carry and extra charge to the homeowner.
Trash Container STORAGE..... Per Overland Park City Ordinance and College Meadows Rules, containers must be stored OUT-OF-SIGHT. They can be stored in your garage or behind your backyard fence IF they are not visible from the street. PLEASE place Trash Containers back in storage as soon as possible, (rules state by the end of the day). Perhaps make an arrangement with a neighbor to return yours to your storage location if you will be out of town.

Architectural Review Request Form Required for Home Improvement Projects
Many exterior projects require approval by our Board of Directors prior to their inception. Before you begin construction of roofing, siding, windows, a new or replacement deck, patio, fence, or other exterior project please contact Home Association Solutions at 913-825-0001 to determine if approval is necessary for your project. ANY change of exterior color, new roofing, siding, deck, front porch, driveway, sidewalk, fence, etc. must be submitted for approval; some changes must be duplicated by the attached home with the same completion date. If in doubt, ask. All changes must be approved. If you are painting or staining the same color, no approval is needed.
You may download an Architectural Review Request form in the "Documents" section of this website.
Yard Reminders
1) Please water your lawn after chemicals have been applied, or they can't do their work.
2) Remove all weeds between the driveways and in plant beds. These areas are your responsibility. Keeping the area between the driveways is work to split among the two homeowners.
3) Trim low hanging tree branches. (13 feet on street side, 8 feet on sidewalks per City of Overland Park)
4) Cut down the "trash"mulberry trees in your yard. These weeds are quick to grow and hard to kill.
5) Pick up after your dog(s).
6) Water your lawn and your trees. Street trees are your property, also. Keep them healthy and trimmed.
7) Do not park on the grass.
8) If you have a street sidewalk in front of your home, please keep it clean from debris, like tree limbs.
