Tusayan and Valle Area Residents Free Community Clean-Up Day

From Az 2-1-1:

On Saturday, June 14th, Coconino County will sponsor a free community clean-up and fire fuel reduction day for residents of Tusayan, Valle and the surrounding areas.

The cleanup will be held from 9 am to 3 pm in the parking lot of the Flintstone’s Bedrock City campground, at the junction of Highway 64 & Highway 180.

This clean-up day provides an opportunity for residents to clean up debris in their neighborhoods, eliminate rodent nesting areas, & reduce the threat of fire by disposing of potential fire hazards.

Items accepted at the clean-up include tree trimmings, bagged pine needles, bulky residential waste, tires without rims & refrigerated appliances (a Certificate of Evacuation is required, or a fee of $30 will be charged for disposal without a certificate).

And, for the first time, other items that will be accepted include:
• mixed household recyclables-plastic containers #1-7, aluminum and tin cans, newspaper, magazines, office paper, junk mail & crushed cardboard boxes

Items that will NOT be accepted include:
• hazardous materials, liquids, paint, or batteries (Flagstaff’s hazardous products center at Cinder Lakes Landfill accepts residential hazardous materials free of charge year-round).
• dead animals, vehicle parts.

For more information, please call Lindsay Daley, Coconino County Public Works Information Coordinator, at (928) 526-2735 ext. 17.
