The City of Great Bend will be burning the tree pile at the Compost Site today. Work plans to start today and there is a potential to be burning tomorrow as well as they take advantage of the current wind conditions.

The burn area will be monitored by city staff 24 hours a day.

“The city of Great Bend appreciates the patience of the public while this work is performed, it is likely if the wind is right that you might smell or see the smoke,” said Street Department Supervisor Tony Bronson. For more information, call 620-793-4150.
