To help accommodate cleanup of flood and storm debris and brush, the City of West Plains is accepting those items for free to city residents now through Spring Cleanup Week, which ends April 25.
Proof of residence is required to dump debris items, and businesses that charge for cleanup services will not be eligible for free drop-off.
The City Transfer Station is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and located at 1853 Old Airport Road. City officials thanked residents for their efforts in keeping West Plains safe and clean during ongoing storm recovery.
The South Central Solid Waste Management District is partnering with the city of West Plains to host an electronics waste event free of charge to residents of Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Shannon, Texas and Wright Counties.
Items will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis from 10 a.m. to noon today or until the transport truck is full.
It will be held at the West Plains Materials and Recycling Facility, 1853 Old Airport Road. Bring electronics and appliances; anything with freon must have the freon removed by a certified professional before disposal. Data destruction and electronic recycling services will be provided by the Computer Recycling Center. The project is funded by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
