Paducah 311 Makes It Easier To Request Brush And Yard Waste Collection

Press release from the City of Paducah:

March 10, 2022

There are several ways to request a brush or yard waste collection:

Regarding the collection of brush and yard debris, small amounts of yard debris can be placed in garbage rollouts. To make the collection of brush as efficient as possible and to prevent the blocking of storm drainage systems, place brush and yard debris near the edge of the road and not in the alleys. Try to avoid placing debris under utility lines or near objects such as parked cars or fire hydrants.

Paducah 311 was launched in January to enhance the public’s experience by providing more ways to request a service, report issues, or ask a question through an app and online portal. Both the app and portal allow for pictures to be submitted which is helpful for staff as they respond to the service request.

The request types that can be submitted through Paducah 311 include

Please note that Paducah 311 is not for emergencies. Call 9-1-1 for emergency situations.

The information can be submitted anonymously. However, setting up an account online will allow for email updates and an efficient way for staff to gather more information if necessary. Once a service request is entered, a tracking number will be provided which can be used for reference.
