The City of Warrensburg, population 19,337, is located 45 minutes east of Kansas City at the intersection of US Highway 50 and Missouri Route 13. Warrensburg's international energy is the result of two main influences, Whiteman Air Force Base, which operates and maintains the U.S. Air Force's premier weapon systems and the University of Central Missouri that delivers a world-class education by providing a small-college learning environment coupled with largeuniversity opportunities and cultural offerings. Historically, residents and business have been able to establish individual contracts for trash service with private companies. Currently, there is one large operator and several smaller operators offering service with the City of Warrensburg at varying levels of customer satisfaction. The City does not have a franchised trash hauler. The City provides a bi-annual bulky waste pickup and brush and limb pickup for residents through separate contracts for service.
