The Geary County landfill has been open the past two Saturdays so the public could deposit tree limb and branch debris picked up after the recent ice storm.

County Commissioner Florence Whitebread said it will not be open this next Saturday ( Dec. 19 ). There wasn’t much business last Saturday, and the County has to staff it. “We feel that probably down the road in maybe perhaps a month once the City is finished with their collection of all the brush then the people that did not get theirs picked up and didn’t get it out to the time will need to have that Saturday. We’ll look at it down the road, and see about being open on another Saturday, but for the time being it’s eight to four during the weekdays.”
