Residential Trash and Yard Waste

GFL provides one 96-gallon trash cart to each eligible residence. Each cart is assigned to a specific service address and should remain at that address.

If you need an additional 96-gallon trash cart, the monthly fee is $8 per cart. To request or return an additional cart, contact GFL Customer Service at 816.380.5595 or kccustomercare@gflenv.com.

Residents who are unable to move a 96-gallon cart to the curb due to a qualifying medical condition or temporary injury may be eligible for GFL's hardship/medical exemption program, which may include walk-up collection service or a smaller cart. Eligibility requires completion of a medical certification form by a licensed physician. Contact GFL for more information.

GFL collection begins at 7 a.m. All trash and yard waste must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. All trash must fit inside the cart with the lid closed. Do not place items on top of the cart.

Extra bag tags may be purchased for additional trash bags or extra yard waste. A sheet of five tags costs $6.50. To purchase tags, contact the City of Belton Utility Billing at 816.331.4331.

For collection, place carts at the curb with the wheels facing the house. Carts should be located at least two feet from other carts, mailboxes, vehicles, low-hanging branches, shrubs and other obstacles.
