Great Bend's storm cleanup plan for trees

Posted Jul 21, 2023 3:00 PM

From the City of Great Bend...

The City of Great Bend has put together a storm cleanup plan for trees & limbs. The next step will be to drive every neighborhood and pick up down trees and limbs with these following rules.

  1. If you are unable to take your own limbs to the City Compost Site, please gather them at the edge of your yard by the curb.
  2. We ask that piles be placed within 3 feet proximity of the street curb line.
  3. Please cut trees and limbs to 6 feet or shorter to help city efforts and cleanup.
  4. Please have them to the curb by the street no later than Monday, July 24th at 8am.
  5. The city will drive every neighborhood to pick up tree parts that are gathered along the curb. HOWEVER, they will ONLY drive by one time, so please make it a priority to get yours gathered and placed by Monday July 24, at 8am.
  6. Through the next two weeks starting Monday, please park in driveways and do not block or impede limbs & piles until they are gone. If they are inaccessible the pile will be left. 
  7. We still need volunteer groups willing to go help a big list of citizens in need. If you are a group willing to help, please contact jcauley@greatbendks.net.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter, for more questions please contact City Hall at 620-793-4111.
