KC to open drop site Sunday for debris from last week’s storm

The Kansas City Public Works Department is opening the brush drop-off site at 1815 N. Chouteau Trafficway on Sunday to assist residents affected by last week’s severe weather.

The site will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The North Chouteau Trafficway location and the site at 10301 Raytown Road (south of Interstate 470) will have regular Saturday hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Proof of residency within Kansas City’s city limits is required. The sites prohibit grass clippings, trash, duct tape and wire. If residents use plastic bags, the bags must be emptied and taken away.

Public Works crews have completed targeted debris collection operations in the areas of the Northland that were most affected by last week’s storm. Crews are now conducting a targeted collection in an area near Blue Ridge Boulevard and 47th Street.
