The City of Merriam’s new citywide single-hauler program for trash, recycling, and yard waste collection with GFL Environmental will officially launch on November 1, 2026.
We recognize that some residents are eager to transition sooner—and that certain households have experienced service disruptions as existing providers scale back ahead of the change. To help address these needs, GFL has agreed to offer optional early enrollment for Merriam residents prior to the official start date.
Participation in this early service option is entirely voluntary. Please note that it is not billed through the City and will not be connected to the negotiated contract rate that begins in 2026.
Residents interested in enrolling early should watch for a postcard from GFL in the coming weeks, which will include details on pricing and instructions for signing up.
