Month: April 2015

Due to the large volume of the debris from the storm overnight, the city has made it possible for residents to drop off storm debris at Brooks Construction and Demolition Landfill for free. The public may drop off storm debris through the close of business Tuesday, April 7 at no charge.

Because Brooks is a C&D landfill, accepted storm debris is limited to roofing materials, wood, wood products, wall or floor coverings, plaster, drywall, plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring, electrical components containing no hazardous materials and non-asbestos insulation.

All loads are screened by the landfill operator. Loads containing any unapproved waste will be rejected. Household hazardous wastes will not be accepted. All other C&D waste is subject to regular tipping fees.

The landfill is located at 4100 N. West Street and is open M-F, 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. and will be open extended hours on Saturday, April 4 from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. For more information, please contact the Brooks Landfill at (316) 722-0601. Residents are also encouraged to contact their normal haulers for additional assistance with debris removal.
