Spring is here, and it is time to “Refresh Concordia!” The City Commission is excited to announce our City-Wide Cleanup Event, where you can place unwanted items at the curb, and the city will help haul them away—free of charge! Please pay special attention to what items are accepted and when in order for the clean up to run smoothly.
“This is a great opportunity to clean up your yard, declutter your home, and work together to keep Concordia looking its best! A cleaner city means stronger neighborhoods and a community that we can all be proud of,” says Concordia Mayor Amy Jackson. “We encourage everyone to take part—whether it’s by putting items out, helping a neighbor, or simply spreading the word. Thank you for being great stewards of our community, and let’s make this cleanup a success!”
Concordia residents are encouraged to place items at their curbs on April 5 and 6.
City crews will begin collecting items from the curb on Monday, April 7. Items must be placed at the curb before 7 a.m. Monday, April 7 to guarantee pickup. Tree limbs less than 4 inches in diameter (not trees), appliances and furniture will be collected at the curb. Household trash and construction debris will not be collected. Residents are responsible to ensure items are and remain sorted at the curb. Items not sorted will not be collected.
One significant change is planned for this event. Passenger car and truck tires will still be accepted free of charge, but must be brought to the City Shop parking lot at 2nd & Mill Street between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday, April 7 through Friday, April 11. Residents dropping off passenger car and truck tires must show proof of a Concordia address to use this service. A current valid driver’s license or utility bill dated within the last month may be used.
Items remaining at the curb after April 14 will be treated as a nuisance, and a cleanup fee of $300 will be charged.
Residents with questions may call City Hall at (785) 243-2670 or visit the City’s website www.concordiaks.org.
