The City of Independence announces that the brush yard will be open for the next few mornings for Independence residents cleaning up after the recent storms.

 

The brush yard will be open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 8am to noon for those needing to dispose of downed tree limbs and branches after the recent thunderstorms. To schedule a visit outside of those hours, call 620-714-0460.

 

Residents can also use SeeClickFix to request brush pick up from the City.

• Brush and limbs must be in front of the residence near the curb.
•  Brush piles left in the alley will not be picked up.
•  Brush and limbs must be neatly placed in a pile no larger than 8 feet long x 4 feet wide x 4 feet tall in the front of the house by the curb but not in the street.
•  Brush piles are required to be at least 4 or more feet away from any obstructions such as; buildings, fences, vehicles, mailboxes, trees/shrubbery, gas & water meters, fire hydrants, utility shut off valves, utility line markers, electric poles, guide wires, phone boxes, sign posts, and lawn decorations.
•  If the pile contains any trash, tires, lumber (treated or not treated), or anything other than natural brush and unprocessed wood, the person who filed the work order will be notified and the brush will not be removed until the material is removed by the property owner/representative.
•  Each property is allowed 1 pile per month. Brush placed on City property will be considered illegal dumping.
