city wide clean up?

since the great city of hace switched to the new trash system. does anyone know if they plan to continue the city wide clean ups? thats like christmas to me one mans trash is another mans treasure.

The annual city wide clean up is still slated for the fall. There will be ample opportunity to refurnish that mobile home of yours, and perhaps finally get that lovely bride a gift worthy of her beauty.

we waste entirely too much stuff. the landfills are full of things that could have been repaired, but were tossed away in the name of "simplicity" and "convenience"...

Thought that they used to have it 2 times a year. We must cut expense's somewhere !

already got her a new hunting daug and a can of chew for her and the youngins to share

Last year they had it in May after the college kids leave for home....treasures out!!! and in Oct. ? Let me know!! Thanks

There are two cleanups in SW hays, but not the rest of Hays.
The city has a city-wide cleanup that they provide to you every fall.

Those of you who are fortunate enough to live in the area south and west of 8th and Main get a second cleanup in May.
If you don't live in that area, don't complain to the city. This is a private effort that has so far been accomplished by Hays Neighbors in cooperation with various Fort Hays classes and fraternities. This years effort is still being organized. It covers nearly 30 blocks in an area recognized as the gateway to the campus.

If you don't live in that area and feel your neighborhood could use this service, talk to your neighbors in an equally large area and get organized. You are welcome to join the Hays Neighbors meetings if you wish to observe how we accomplish what we do.

hays neighbors meetings? what is that?

I sure hope the cleanup provided in the SW part of Hays helps prevent all of the illegal dumping in the county.

I agree! A couple of years ago during the city clean up, I drove past a mountain of reusable stuff. It was disgusting. I drove back by and grabbed a few items that would fit in my vehicle. I sure hoped that others would do the same. One of the items was a back pack that looked brand new, it had an odor like it had been in a basement for a very long time. Nothing that some spray didn't fix.
