With snow falling once more in Shawnee, we wanted to take you behind the wheel and hear what it takes to get Shawnee ready for a winter storm, to keep the plows rolling during the storm, and dig the City out after the storm is over. It takes a dedicated team of drivers from all across the City of Shawnee, and one of them was nice enough to let us tag along this morning as the snow was still coming down.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Shawnee Pulse, where we take you inside the happenings in the City of Shawnee, Kansas. Each month, we'll bring you interviews with the professional staff in the City government who work hard every day to make Shawnee a great place to live, work, and play.
We're kicking off this first episode with a topic that should interest all residents: Shawnee's Landfill Voucher program. Deputy City Manager Colin Duffy joins us to discuss when to expect those vouchers to arrive in the mail, how residents can use them, and other requirements for trash service providers in the City of Shawnee. For more information about the vouchers, trash service, recycling, and yard waste, visit: https://www.cityofshawnee.org/residents/trash_collection_recycling_and_yard_waste.
