This storm cleanup is an effort of the City of Manhattan to allow residents to clean up their properties with free haul-away services for tree limbs and branches following the June 11, 2022 severe thunderstorm event.

City crews will pass through each neighborhood, according to assigned days for pickup, and collect at the curb of properties only properly stacked tree limbs and branches that were downed as a result of the June 11 storm. No other materials will be collected.

City crews will NOT be performing any work on private property, and it is the responsibility of the property owner to move any storm debris to the curb.

If residents are able to transport the limbs and branches themselves to the Riley County Transfer Station, located at 1881 Henton Road, we ask they please do so in order to reduce the workload on City crews given the high volume of cleanup anticipated.

Process for pickup:

Residents should follow these steps to ensure their items are picked up:

• Pile limb and branches on the ground next to the curb so they can be picked up easily by a skid loader.
• Do not place limbs or branches in the street or too far back in the yard, making them difficult for the loader to reach from the street.
  
• Stack branches in a loose pile; don’t use rope or twine to tie them together.
• Have your items on the curb and ready for pickup by 7 a.m. on your scheduled day, according to the map above. Crews will check each area only once!
