HAYS PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

ALLEY CLEANUP DAY 3 is now complete. The map available on the City’s website shows the progress thus far.

Progress is good, and the residents of Hays are doing great at following the rules to make Alley Cleanup a safe and economical service provided to the refuse customers of Hays. Thank You!

As in years past, the City WILL NOT pick up tires, hazardous waste, batteries, and medical waste. Tires should be disposed of at the Ellis County Landfill, and hazardous waste and batteries should be disposed of at the Ellis County Hazardous Waste Facility. Medical waste can be taken to the Ellis County Health Department. Please call 628-9460, 628-9449, or 628-9440 for detailed information.
Waste should be placed in four separate piles in preparation of the alley cleanup. The piles should be organized in the following manner:

• 1.Tree limbs and brush (no longer than 12 ft. in length or 6″ in diameter) All yard and garden waste MUST be bagged to be collected!

• 2.Construction and Demolition Debris, i.e., lumber, drywall, bricks, sinks, wires, etc. (please pull or bend over nails and place small quantities of concrete, bricks, and plaster in containers)

• 3.White Goods/Metals, i.e., guttering, siding, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, metal swing sets, etc.

• 4.Municipal Waste (all other items), i.e., furniture, carpet, etc.

TO AVOID WRONGFUL PICK UP, “TREASURED ITEMS” SHOULD BE TAGGED OR REMOVED FROM THE COLLECTION AREA

NOTE: Alley cleanup is for City of Hays residential customers paying for refuse services.
