The Fairgrounds staging area for flood debris closed June 25th. A new flood debris drop-off site is open at the City’s Yard Waste Facility located at 1301 8th Street SE (east of soccer complex). This also includes the new drop-off site for all flood-damaged appliances. Debris can be left on the curbside for pick-up until July 15th. Starting on July 16th, City crews will begin making a final pass through each area of town that was flooded and pick up any remaining debris and sandbags from the curb.

If you would like to haul your own sandbags away, you can drop them off at the empty lot just east of the eastside Kwik Star. The sandbag can be left on the curb or dropped off until July 15th. Starting on July 16th, City crews will begin making a final pass through each area of town that was flooded and pick up any remaining debris and sandbags from the curb.
