City of Manhattan
This is spring cleanup week in Manhattan.
Last year, city crews picked up 325 tons of leaves, branches, sticks, twigs, grass clippings, etc. during the 2025 Spring Cleanup. That's 514 truckloads!
Please remember to put your bagged and stacked yard waste at the curb by 7:00 a.m. the morning your neighborhood is scheduled for pickup.
Things never go exactly as planned - so the schedule might go a little slower than outlined below. However, it's VERY IMPORTANT to remember that crews will ONLY VISIT EACH NEIGHBORHOOD ONCE. After they pass through a neighborhood, they don't go back.
The good news is, if you miss the pickup schedule for any reason, you can always take residential yard waste to the Riley County Transfer Station (1881 Henton Road) free of charge. You will be directed to the burn pile for sticks/branches or the compost pile for leaves and grass clippings.
Cleanup was scheduled Monday for areas south of Anderson Ave. and west of Westwood.
Tuesday, April 7 — areas north of Anderson and west of Seth Child
Wednesday, April 8 — all areas north of Anderson Avenue, between Seth Child Road and North Manhattan Avenue
Thursday, April 9 — all areas north of Ratone/Ehlers, east of North Manhattan Avenue and Tuttle Creek Boulevard
Friday, April 10 — all areas south of Anderson Avenue, between Westwood and North Manhattan Avenue, and all areas southeast of North Manhattan Avenue and Ratone/Ehlers
