MEDIA RELEASE, CITY OF HAYS
Due to an overwhelming number of citizen requests for more time to get tree limbs to the curb, residents will have until 7:00 am on the following days to have tree limbs to the curb:
Monday, July 18th – area east of Vine Street (Zone 1)
Tuesday, July 19th – area west of Vine and North of 27th Street (Zone 2)
Wednesday, July 20th – area west of Vine and South of 27th Street (Zone 3)
Collection in Zone 1 will begin on Friday, July 15th; however, it will continue next week and residents in Zone 1 will have until Monday morning to put out branches.
As a reminder:
Residents are encouraged to haul tree branches to the Ellis County Transfer station, 1515 W 55th Street. There is no cost for City residents to dispose of tree branches at Ellis County.
No tree branches may be taken to the compost site.
Branches may be placed along the edge of the street for collection by City Crews. Do not block sidewalks and keep at least a 3’ clear space around fire hydrants and utility pedestals. Crews will not go onto private property.
Hanging limbs and large trees will not be collected as the City does not have the equipment to provide such service. A list of Licensed Tree Trimmers to provide these services is attached.
City crews will only make one pass through each area and will not collect branches from alleys. Make sure to have any branches to the curb by 7:00 am of the scheduled day.
