Reminder! Curbside Glass Recycling

Curbside glass recycling is coming your way! Ripple Glass will deliver glass recycling bins to all Roeland Park residents in early December and your glass bottles and jars will be collected monthly.

Starting in January 2023, on your first trash collection pick up day of each month please place your purple bin at the curb along with your other solid waste containers (trash, yard waste and recycling) and Ripple will collect the glass from your bin. Find your collection dates and learn more about the program below.

The Holiday Kindness Project



In partnership with the Roeland Park Police Department, a community partner is hosting a gift card drive to help ease the financial strain this holiday season and bring joy to our community.

Residents are encouraged to purchase $10-$20 gift cards from local RP businesses, grocery stores, gas stations, etc. and drop them off with the cashier at City Hall. RPPD officers will distribute the cards at their discretion to RP residents in need. Last year, RPPD was able to surprise and delight many appreciative neighbors!

Leaf Collection Information

Use the map below to plan for your leaf pickup date. Dates may change due to weather & maintenance needs, so be sure to check our Facebook page regularly for updates!

Please ensure leaves are placed within 10 feet of the back of the curb. It is acceptable for leaves to be on the sidewalk, as long as 3 feet of open space is clear on the sidewalk for pedestrians. If piles are out of reach, the leaf truck won't be able to collect them.

Make sure to follow these leaf pick-up tips:

1. Do Not rake leaves into the street. Leaves should be in long piles behind the curb abutting the street. Leaves should be placed within 10 ft of the street or back of curb. LEAVES PLACED IN THE STREET WILL NOT BE PICKED UP.

2. When sidewalks abut the curb, leave at least 3 ft of passable sidewalk space between the curb and leaf piles for pedestrians.

3. Keep leaf piles free of limbs and litter.

4. Keep leaves away from obstacles such as trash cans, mailboxes, cars, and utility poles.

5. Do not park your car in front of leaves during collection hours of 7 AM-5 PM Monday-Friday and 7:30 AM-3:30 PM on Saturday. If your neighbor parks in front of your leaves, please reach out to them and kindly request they move their vehicle.

6. Place leaves behind the curb the day prior to collection
