Additionally, the County is offering ten free green waste disposal days for the rest of this year. This is much safer and cleaner than openly burning green waste. Green waste includes yard waste, lawn clippings, leaves, and tree trimmings under 18" diameter. It does NOT include weeds, cholla cactus, sod, root balls, stumps, lumber, treated wood, dirt, rocks, or construction materials.
Visit the County website for more information about free tire disposal and green waste days.
