Sedgwick County opens second site for free tree debris disposal

KWCH · last updated

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) — As ongoing tree debris collection continues at the Brooks Landfill, Sedgwick County Public Works is hosting another free debris drop-off at its West Yard, 4701 S. West St. The event runs from Thursday, June 26, to Saturday, June 28, between 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily.

This temporary disposal site is for Sedgwick County residents only, excluding government entities, businesses, and commercial haulers, including tree services. People are asked to remember:

  • Only storm-related tree debris, like branches and twigs, will be accepted.
  • Loads containing other types of waste will be turned away.
  • Residents must be prepared to unload their own debris on-site.
  • Properly secure storm debris during transport to keep branches and twigs from scattering along the roadway.

Due to ongoing road construction, West Street adjacent to the West Yard is open to northbound traffic only.

Traffic message boards at MacArthur and West Street and 47th and Meridian Avenue will direct southbound drivers to the site.
