YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The City of Yuma has opened a temporary green waste drop-off site Friday.
According to a press release, this is to help assist residents with storm cleanup, and is taking place at a vacant lot located in the area of S. Avenue A and W. 17th Street, across from Inca Lanes, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
While they accept clippings, branches, leaves, shrubs and weeds, the City says they do not accept construction debris, fencing, roofing, trampolines and palm fronds.
The City is asking those who are dropping off the green waste to unload them “directly into the roll-off dumpsters” and “do not dump on the ground.”
The City is also asking those dropping off to follow the “posted signage and traffic flow directions at the site.”
In addition, the City says the “site will be open through at least the weekend, with potential extension depending on community needs. Updates will be provided.”
