Three options for storm debris disposal

From the Unified Government:

Residents who are still cleaning up after the storm have three options to dispose of storm-related debris.

Public Works received more than 100 calls for service with 35 of those calls being considered emergency related. There were approximately 35 streets closed as a result of fallen trees and debris. As of today, all of those streets have been cleared for traffic.

• Transport the waste to the Deffenbaugh Landfill (at no cost to KCK residents). Show driver’s license or other valid ID proving you live in Wyandotte County.

• Take debris to the Yard Waste Drop Off site located at 3241 Park Drive, Kansas City, Kan. 66102 which will be open:
This week, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday; and from noon to 4 p.m. Friday, July 3.
The week of July 6, it will be open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

• The Public Works crews will be making a sweep through the city to pick up storm debris. None of the storm debris collected by public works will be taken to a landfill.

Those with questions may call the UG’s 311 Call Center.
