Manhattan cleanup presses forward as crews clear 300 truckloads of storm debris
Residents asked to place yard waste at curb by 7 a.m. for single-pass neighborhood collection
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Public Works crews have hauled 300 truckloads of debris following a storm that struck the city with 70 mph wind gusts, nickel-sized hail and up to 3.5 inches of rain, and neighborhood collections will continue into next week.
As with the city's annual spring cleanup, residents must place storm debris at the curb by 7 a.m. on their scheduled pickup day for a single-pass collection. Heavy debris volume could cause schedule delays, city officials said.
Residents who miss curbside pickup may drop off residential yard waste at no charge at the Riley County Transfer Station, 1881 Henton Road.
Gov. Laura Kelly and state officials continue to coordinate severe weather recovery efforts across Kansas.
