Large-Item Pickup

Oct. 16–20, 2023

Twice each year, City of Merriam staff picks up large items, such as furniture, appliances, carpets/rugs, and miscellaneous items across the City.

The Merriam Public Works Department provides this service during the third full weeks of April and October. Residents should place their items curbside before 7 a.m. on their scheduled pickup day. Please wait until the weekend of Oct. 14 before placing items on the curb.

A one-time pickup in scheduled areas occurs:
