Storm cleanup continues across Manhattan.
Forestry and Public Works crews have spent the week reopening roadways and moving debris out of the way. Beginning Monday, June 15, crews will start picking up and hauling away limbs and branches from streets, parks, and neighborhoods.
Please note:
We can only accept yard waste
Do not place trash, shingles, boards, fencing, or other construction materials at the curb
Debris should be placed at the curb, similar to spring cleanup
There will not be a set pickup schedule during the first week. Crews will work through as much as possible, and some neighborhoods may take longer than others. We expect cleanup to take at least two weeks.
By the end of the first week, we plan to share a public pickup schedule based on how much work remains.
Need help with yard cleanup? The Flint Hills Volunteer Center can assist residents age 55 and older with piling debris for pickup. They cannot do heavy tree work such as climbing or cutting trees. To ask for help or volunteer, call (785) 776-7787.
Thank you for your patience as crews continue cleanup efforts.
