Merriam sits where I-35 and Shawnee Mission Parkway cross — a compact Johnson County city of mid-century ranches and split-levels on small lots, tucked between Shawnee, Mission and Overland Park. From Independence it's a straight shot west on I-70 and down I-35, about 30–35 minutes, and because it sits on the way to the rest of Johnson County we can pair a Merriam pickup with an Overland Park or Lenexa job the same day.
Merriam's housing stock is 1950s–60s: single-car garages, finished basements that flooded once, and a lot of furniture that came home from the IKEA down the road and is now ready to leave. Small lots and short driveways mean we plan the truck placement before we arrive — the 26-ft box truck stays on the street where it fits, and the dump trailer handles the narrow drives. Reusable pieces go to a Johnson County donation drop-off instead of riding all the way back to Independence.

Trash & disposal rules in Merriam
Merriam is changing how trash works in 2026, and it matters for anything big:
- ●The city's own Large-Item Pickup runs twice a year, spring and fall — furniture, appliances, carpet and the like go to the curb during the announced week.
- ●From November 1, 2026 the city moves to a single citywide hauler (GFL) with one monthly large-item day, up to three bulk items per household; residents have to opt into the new contract by October.
- ●Between those dates, for more than three items, for a basement's worth of furniture, or for anything that has to come out of the house rather than off the curb — that's the gap we fill, usually next-day.
Metro-wide breakdowns: bulky-item pickup by city and yard waste rules.

FAQ
Common questions — Merriam
The most-asked questions from Merriam customers.
About 30–35 minutes on I-70 and I-35. We plan Johnson County days so a Merriam stop pairs with nearby jobs. Single-item runs this far may carry a slight travel adjustment; anything a quarter-truck or more doesn't.
Usually not the box truck — most Merriam driveways are single-width. We park on the street and carry, or bring the dump trailer for tighter spots. Either way you don't need to move anything to the curb.
