Citywide Clean Up in Pleasanton Kansas

We have been pretty disappointed with Citywide pickup to this point. Yesterday, we found paint cans hidden in couches, oil cans hidden in flower pots, chemicals hidden in brush and house hold trash piled furniture. 

That being said, if we see any of this today, we will not pick up your stuff. 

This is a service that we are providing for the community because so many people can benefit from it. 

The rules have been posted in many places and we've had several people call to ask for clarification! We will not pick up hazardous materials, tires, TV's, or household trash.
