? One thing to know today
The city of Prairie Village this week is making what it calls a “second and final pass” to pick up debris from July’s severe storms.
City crews earlier this week marked where large piles of yard and tree debris had been piled up on the curb and are planning to come around and pick them up this week.
Smaller branches should still be bundled together and placed at the curb on residents’ regular trash day for pick up by Republic, the city’s private waste collection contractor.
The city has contracted with AshBritt, a Florida-based disaster recovery company, to pick up larger logs and debris from last month’s storms.
According to an update late last week, much of the remaining debris to be picked up in Prairie Village is concentrated in the northern part of the city, north of 75th Street and west of Mission Road.
