🐍⚠️ **RATTLESNAKE ALERT, FOWLER!** ⚠️🐍

Okay, folks of Fowler! We may be in OCTOBER, but apparently Mother Nature forgot to tell the rattlesnakes! 🌞🐍

With these warmer temperatures, those pesky rattlers seem to think it's still spring or summer, and they're making their presence known around town!

🚨 **THREE RATTLESNAKE SIGHTINGS IN TWO DAYS!** 🚨

🐍 **Yesterday:** One at the school.

🐍 **Today:** One on Main Street near the Bus Barn.

🐍 **Also Today:** Another one at the Fowler Senior Center!

Folks, we cannot stress enough how important it is to **BE ALERT AND USE CAUTION** while you're out enjoying this beautiful fall weather!

⚠️ **A FEW FRIENDLY REMINDERS:**

- 👀 Watch where you step, especially around tall grass, bushes, rocks, and shaded areas.
- 🐾 Keep an extra eye on your pets and children.
- 🚶 Stay on clear, open pathways whenever possible.
- 🐍 If you spot a rattlesnake, **DO NOT APPROACH IT OR ATTEMPT TO HANDLE IT!** Give it plenty of space and keep others away.

🍂 We love our beautiful Kansas fall weather, but apparently the snakes do, too!

**Let's keep our kiddos, seniors, pets, and EVERYONE in our community safe!**

💛🖤 **Stay alert, stay safe, and remember — just because the calendar says October doesn't mean the rattlesnakes got the memo!** 🐍

**PLEASE SHARE to help spread the word throughout Fowler!**

💛🖤 **EXCITING NEWS FOR FOWLER!** 🖤💛

🚛 **WE'VE GOT A NEW ADDITION TO THE CITY OF FOWLER!**

The City has recently purchased its very own **roll-off dumpster** to better serve our community and help keep Fowler clean, welcoming, and beautiful! 🌻

We know how quickly things can pile up around the house, garage, or yard, and we want to make it a little easier for our residents to get rid of those unwanted items!

🗑️ **SPECIAL COLLECTION THIS WEEK!**

**Thursday, Friday & Saturday**
⏰ **8:00 AM – 6:00 PM**

This week, residents may dispose of unwanted items, with the following exceptions:

🚫 **NO TIRES**
🚫 **NO APPLIANCES CONTAINING FREON**

📅 **REGULAR DUMPSTER SCHEDULE**

Our regular schedule will be divided into two collection periods each month:

🏠 **FIRST TWO WEEKS OF EACH MONTH**
**Thursday, Friday & Saturday | 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM**

✅ **HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ONLY**

These items will be taken to Meade County Disposal, so we must follow their disposal rules and regulations.

🛠️ **LAST TWO WEEKS OF EACH MONTH**
**Thursday, Friday & Saturday | 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM**

✅ **GENERAL CLEANUP & UNWANTED ITEMS**

Residents may dispose of other unwanted items, with the same restrictions:

🚫 NO TIRES
🚫 NO APPLIANCES CONTAINING FREON
🚫 NO TREE LIMBS, BRANCHES, GRASS CLIPPINGS, OR YARD WASTE — TAKE THESE ITEMS TO THE CITY COMPOST PIT.

🌳🍃 **YARD WASTE REMINDER!**

Tree limbs, branches, grass clippings, and other yard waste **are NOT permitted in the roll-off dumpster.**

🌿 **Please take these items directly to the City Compost Pit.**

Keeping yard waste out of the dumpster helps us save valuable space for household items and other acceptable materials.

💛 Thank you for helping us make the most of this new service!

💛 **A FEW FRIENDLY REMINDERS!**

We are excited to offer this service, but we need everyone's cooperation to keep it running smoothly!

🚧 **Please DO NOT leave trash outside the fence after hours.** Our City technicians work hard to maintain our community, and leaving items outside the designated area creates additional work and unnecessary cleanup.

🚛 **If the dumpster is FULL, please DO NOT leave your trash sitting around it.** We understand it may be inconvenient, but there will be another opportunity to dispose of your items.

⏰ **CAN'T MAKE IT DURING REGULAR HOURS? WE UNDERSTAND!**

Life gets busy, work schedules don't always cooperate, and sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day! Give City Hall a call at **620-646-5231**, and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule and find a time that works for you.

🏡 **FOWLER RESIDENTS ONLY, PLEASE!**

This service is intended for residents within the City of Fowler. If you live outside city limits, please utilize the Meade County or Seward County disposal facilities.

🌻 **LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP FOWLER BEAUTIFUL!**

We are happy to offer this service to our community, and with a little courtesy, consideration, and cooperation from everyone, we can make it a success!

As always, if you have questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact **Fowler City Hall at 620-646-5231**.

💛🖤 **Small town, big heart, and a community worth keeping beautiful!**
