Press Release

As a friendly reminder to our citizens, it is against City Ordinance 1282 to rake, blow, or move grass, grass clippings and leaves into any City street or alley. This eventually will lead to the blocking of the City’s storm drainage system.

The City does have a brush/dump site located north of the Animal Shelter on North Hill Street. It is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The brush/dump site accepts leaves, limbs, and yard clippings.  If the leaves are bagged, we ask that you empty the bags of leaves or clippings and take your bags with you.

Thank you for helping keep the City of Fort Scott a better place to live, work and play!
