Merriam sits where I-35 and Shawnee Mission Parkway cross. It's 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 since it's 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 where the truck goes before we arrive. The 26-ft box truck stays on the street where it fits, and we carry everything out to it. 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, in 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.
- ●We cover the gaps, usually next-day: the weeks between those dates, more than three items, a basement's worth of furniture, or anything that has to come out of the house rather than off the curb.
Metro-wide breakdowns: bulky-item pickup by city and yard waste rules.

Real customers across the Kansas City metro, in their own words.
“These guys are amazing. Called them needing junk removed, with the only access to the property being a closed road under construction. They gave me a quote and came out same day - took multiple trips, cleaned up the entire area, and were extremely courteous and professional. Will absolutely use again - very reasonably priced, efficient, and did the job better than I even expected! Could not recommend more.”
“Very professional they came out the same day we called them and got our whole basement cleaned out! Would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Called Royal Jun Pros on a Friday morning and they were on site within 4 hours and took care of everything. Received before and after photos of what needed to be cleaned up and they also repaired my fence while on site. A definite 5 star company and will use them again when needed. Great job!”
“Had Royal Junk Pros come out to clean my garage, and they did a great job. I had a bunch of old junk and random stuff that had piled up over the years, and they got everything loaded up way faster than I expected. They showed up when they said they would, were friendly and professional, and made the whole process really easy.”
“After I sent a text to the guys via the website, they sent an estimate quickly and a time they could come pick up my items. They were communicative, professional, and polite! They were at my house same day and got everything I needed hauled away. Super easy and reasonably priced!”
“Dominic and Austin turned up less than 24 hours after I called. They worked quickly and I appreciate their diligence. They had me back at work in no time, which I guess isn't their fault lol”

FAQ
Common questions in 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 about a pickup load or more doesn't.
Usually not, since most Merriam driveways are single-width. We park the box truck on the street and carry, so you don't need to move anything to the curb.
