Question: | How is Trash collected in Bel-Air Heights? |
Answer: |
The HOA offers to residences of the Bel-Air Heights and Rolling Hills neighborhood as part of its HOA dues trash collection services at a favorable group rate.
As a result, almost every residence in the neighborhood is a member of the HOA. A few home owners elect private contracts costing approximately $400 per year. The Board has accepted a new 5-year Trash Disposal Service contract per April 2022. Its higher price caused a $30 increase in the HOA dues for 2022 but dues increases in later years are expected to be less than 5%. |
Question: | What Trash Disposal Services are included? |
Answer: |
|
News: | Starting 2022, Bulky Item Pickup is provided by Waste Management only and no longer by Overland Park. |
Overland Park requires that Trash Haulers provide, on its behalf, a yearly pickup of Bulky Items, starting in 2022.

Lesser alternatives: Phone 913-631-3300 and provide your address.
