COMMUNITY OFFERING NUMEROUS FREE EVENTS TO HELP MAKE YOU HOME FIREWISE

NUMEROUS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE MAKING IT VERY EASY AND COST-EFFECTIVE TO KEEP YOUR HOME AND PROPERTY SAFE  BY BEING FIREWISE.

FIRE SEASON IS NOW UPON US. THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST A WILDFIRE IS TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN DEFENSIBLE SPACE AROUND YOUR HOME.  REMOVING EXCESS BRUSH AND OTHER VEGETATION FROM AROUND YOUR HOME AND STRUCTURES CAN SLOW THE RATE AND INTENSITY OF AN ADVANCING WILDFIRE.

TO PROMOTE THESE EFFORTS, THE CITY OF PRESCOTT IS OFFERING A FREE BRUSH AND VEGETATION DROP-OFF EVENT FOR ITS RESIDENTIAL TRASH CUSTOMERS EVERY SATURDAY IN APRIL, FROM 8:00 A.M. TO 4:00 P.M., AT THE CITY OF PRESCOTT TRANSFER STATION, LOCATED AT 2800 SUNDOG RANCH RD.

THE FINAL DAY OF YAVAPAI COUNTY’S FREE COMMUNITY CLEANUP IN CONGRESS IS TOMORROW (SATURDAY). 

THE COUNTY IS ALSO HOLDING THEIR ANNUAL FREE SLASH DROP-OFF PROGRAM FOR RESIDENTIAL USE AT COUNTY TRANSFER STATIONS BEGINNING TOMORROW (SATURDAY).

THE COUNTY’S TRANSFER STATIONS ARE LOCATED IN BLACK CANYON CITY, CAMP VERDE, CONGRESS, MAYER, PAULDEN, SELIGMAN, AND SKULL VALLEY. FREE SLASH DROP-OFF WILL BE HELD DURING NORMAL OPERATING HOURS THROUGH JUNE 1ST.

AND YAVAPAI COUNTY’S COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP IN MAYER IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 13TH THROUGH THE 22ND FROM 8 A.M. TO 4 P.M. THE CLEAN-UP IN MAYER WILL BE HELD AT THE MAYER TRANSFER STATION AND IS OPEN TO YAVAPAI COUNTY RESIDENTS AT NO CHARGE.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE FREE EVENTS AND KEEP YOUR HOME AND SURROUNDING AREAS FIRESWISE. FOR MORE DETAILS, CONTACT THE SPONSORS OF THESE COMMUNITY EVENTS.
