Sedalia annual Clean Sweep curbside bulky waste collection
Every residence in the City of Sedalia on city solid waste service; collection runs area by area from the program start date, February 2 in 2026
Conditions and source
Mattresses are named on the accepted list: "Furniture, mattresses, clothing, toys, grills, and patio furniture." Carpet, lumber, drywall, siding, pallets, windows and screen doors are taken too, as are vegetation, branches, leaves, brush and tree debris. Each residence may set out up to 4 cubic yards of bulky waste plus up to 4 cubic yards of yard waste. Not accepted: refrigerators, washers, dryers, ranges, microwaves, dishwashers and window air conditioning units, which are banned from Missouri landfills. Items must be at the curb or in the green space between the sidewalk and street by 5:00 a.m. on the Monday of your area's Clean Sweep week. Setting out more than the allowance earns a door hanger and a charge that must be paid before collection. Sanitation Division (660) 827-7820.
- $0 — Up to 4 cubic yards of bulky waste per residence during that area's Clean Sweep week, with mattresses named on the accepted list
- Plus $27.50 — Each additional cubic yard collected above the four cubic yards provided during the annual Citywide Clean-up, per the City Fee Schedule (Appendix A, Chapter 48)

"This service is only provided for residents residing inside the City Limits."
Conditions and source
Booked through the City's Bulk Waste Disposal Request form or at (660) 827-7820. Payment for one cubic yard is required before scheduling and more is billed if more is collected; items will not be picked up without verification of payment. Pickups run on Tuesdays only, and not in weeks containing holidays; items must be at the street before 5:00 a.m. on the scheduled Tuesday. Not accepted: yard waste, tires, concrete, rocks or bricks, and hazardous waste - bedding is not on the refusal list. Items may not be placed under low-hanging wires or tree limbs, next to trees, signs or posts, or where a vehicle or trailer obstructs them, and there are no alley pickups.
Not confirmed: The City prices this service by the cubic yard, not by the item, so the cost of a single mattress depends on how the load is measured.

What Sedalia itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Sedalia's solid waste code sets the set-out window, guarantees the annual bulky collection and prices fly-tipping back to the property owner. Chapter 48 defines "Bulky rubbish" as "nonputrescible solid wastes ... which are either too large or too heavy to be safely and conveniently loaded in solid waste transportation vehicles by solid waste collectors, with the equipment available therefor." Section 48-26(c) says any container or other solid waste placed at the curb or alley "shall not be so placed until the regularly scheduled collection day", and 48-26(d) that "Bulky rubbish shall be collected at least once annually. The director of public works shall establish the procedures for collecting bulky rubbish." Section 48-26(i) sets the allowance and the sting: "During the annual bulky item pick-up, each residential address receiving solid waste services from the city shall be able to dispose of up to four cubic yards of bulky trash as part of their solid waste management services", excess "shall be billed for each additional cubic yard collected as set forth in the city's fee schedule", and "Bulky rubbish, solid waste or demolition/construction waste left in any of the city's rights-of-way or alley not part of the annual bulky item pick-up, will be collected and the property owner will be billed for each cubic yard collected at the rate set forth in the city's fee schedule." Section 48-2 makes any violation of the chapter punishable under section 1-14 and the city fine schedule. Source
What Pettis County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Sedalia and its neighbors.
- The DNR operating landfill table lists one landfill in Pettis County, "Central Missouri Landfill" at Sedalia, and the processing table lists no transfer station in the county at all. The landfill sits on Oak Grove Lane off Highway 50 at the west edge of Sedalia and is a commercial site with no rate schedule, minimum charge or mattress policy published on any page of its own, so no price and no service is recorded for it. It is the only permitted disposal site inside Pettis County; Sedalia residents outside the city collection, and the rest of the county, have no county facility to use. Source Not confirmed: No published gate rate, minimum charge, opening terms or mattress policy could be established for the Central Missouri Landfill from the operator's own pages.
- Pettis County runs no household collection, no drop-off and no waste facility. Its own site lists the County Commission, Assessor, Auditor, Collector, County Clerk and Elections, Prosecutor, Public Administrator, Recorder of Deeds, Sheriff, Treasurer, Circuit Clerk, Emergency Management, the Road Department, the Juvenile Office and 911 Joint Communications, plus planning and zoning and economic development. No sanitation, solid waste or recycling department exists. The county's only solid waste activity is regulatory: a separate page carries a public hearing notice, three drafts of a waste management proposal from 2022 and an adopted ordinance of July 2024 "establishing waste management regulations for Pettis County", which governs how waste is handled in the county rather than providing a service to households. Source Not confirmed: The text of the adopted 2024 Pettis County waste management ordinance was not read; whether it sets any household duty, fee or exemption is not established.
- Not an option: Waste Connections' page headed "Sedalia Landfill" is not in Sedalia, Missouri. The page's own address line reads "5970 N. HWY 85, Sedalia, CO 80135", with a Colorado phone number (720-733-8584) and a Colorado sales contact, and it ranks for Missouri searches. Its terms — open to the general public, Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., all loads covered or tarped, no salvaging — describe a Douglas County, Colorado site and must not be shown to a Pettis County reader. The page publishes no rate card and no mattress or box-spring fee, so no price is established for it. Source
