Curbside Trash Services
The City of Basehor contracts with Deffenbaugh Industries to provide solid waste disposal services using automated poly-carts which allow for more efficient service and a clean look for our city. Trash & recycling service has a combined monthly rate of $14.03. Basehor residents within the city limits receive a 95 gallon trash cart and a 65 gallon recycling cart with a yellow lid from Deffenbaugh Industries. These carts must be used to ensure pick-up. Click on this link for requirements for sucessful collection. Position your trash and recycling carts with the handles facing your house side-by-side and at least 3 feet apart and 1 foot from the curb. Trash must be placed in plastic bags inside the large black lidded poly-cart. Any bags (33 gallons or less) which do not fit inside the cart require overflow waste stickers which are available for $1.25 each or in sheets of ten for $12.50.

Where Do I get the Overflow Waste Stickers?
Overflow Waste Stickers can be purchased in four convenient ways:
