MEDIA RELEASE, CITY OF HAYS

The City Compost Site is closed until further notice. Residents are not to bring tree branches to the compost site. City Crews are currently working to remove branches and debris from City Streets. Residents may drag tree limbs to the edge of the curb – DO NOT PUT BRANCHES IN THE STREET OR NEAR FIRE HYDRANTS.
Residents are asked to keep at least a 3-foot radius around fire hydrants. Once all streets are clear, City Crews will begin collecting branches from the curb line. It will take several days to accomplish this clean-up. If residents have a split or uprooted tree, they are asked to contact a contractor for removal as the City does not have the capability of removing these trees.
