Sanitation Division
The Sanitation Division coordinates various programs and services to manage the City of Sedalia's waste stream. The Sanitation Division handles residential collection and appropriate disposal of refuse (garbage), recyclables, and yard waste. The Sanitation Division has regulations on curbside refuse and recycling collection, bulky-item pickup, to ensure quality service as well as to protect the environment.
Trash Collection

Customers new to the City will receive their trash cart(s) after signing up for water, wastewater and trash service through the City's Finance Division.
Annually, the City provides a Clean Sweep Program in the spring targeted at cleaning up bulky items and other wastes from within the community. Please click here for more information regarding the City's annual "Clean Sweep" Program

Pettis County Recycles Too!
The City of Sedalia and Pettis County have partnered to make resident recycling available to county residents. An annual fee of $64 for Calendar Year 2021 and $128 for Calendar Year 2022 is charged to county residents by the city to offset the costs of collecting, transporting and disposing of materials. To apply for a permit to recycle, fill out this form.
Upon receipt of their permit, county residents can deliver residential recycling materials to the City of Sedalia's Materials Management Site at 27882 Highway U, just south of the city limits on Ingram Avenue. Each household will be provided with (2) recycling decals to be displayed in the rear windows of the vehicles delivering recyclables to the drop-off site.
Additionally, the site is open 7 days a week, excluding City holidays, from 7 a.m to 5:30 p.m. for collection of electronic waste and glass. Household hazardous waste disposal is provided to residents by appointment only. Residents may call (660) 827-3000, ext. 1166, to schedule a drop-off time.
