Junction City Public Works personnel are planning to begin picking up downed tree limbs and branches from the ice storm on Wednesday.

Ray Ibarra, Public Works Director, said residents need to take them to the curbside, and the City will pick them up. “We will start this program on Wednesday, and we will go from the south going to the north. ” Ibarra added the final day for these items to be picked up from the recent storm activities will be Wednesday, December 9.

The limbs and branches that are gathered will be taken to the Geary County landfill area where there is an area designated for tree limbs. Ibarra noted the City will not go on private property to pick up the limbs and branches. They must be left at the curbside.  The City will pick up that material from all local residents, regardless of who your sanitation service is with.
