Solid Waste Rate Scenario C for 2027
Commission approved Scenario C for solid waste rates, which increases monthly fees by $1.20 to $21.35 for KCK residents while excluding Bonner Springs and Edwardsville residents from subsidized participation in household hazardous waste days and dumpster days. KCK residents will continue paying for internal services including city/county facility collection, illegal dumping disposal, and graffiti cleanup.
- Bonner Springs and Edwardsville residents can still participate in services but will be billed at actual cost rather than subsidized rate. Implementation begins 2027.
