Two drop-off sites are available to St. Joseph residents cleaning up after two evenings of thunderstorms left a lot of destruction in their wake.
One is located in the field north of the Bill McKinney Softball Complex at Heritage Park on Waterworks Road. The second site is located at the parking lot on Southwest Parkway across the street from Bode Ice Arena.
The City of St. Joseph has established guidelines for using the drop-off sites:
• Debris may be dropped off beginning today at noon.
• The last date for drop-off at these locations is August 1.
• Commercial companies may not use the drop-off sites.
• Only residents of St. Joseph are allowed to drop off storm debris.
The landfill is not providing free storm debris disposal. If residents take storm debris to the landfill, they will be charged. There will be no curbside pick-up of storm debris.
Roadways closed after the storms should all be open by Monday, according to the city. Property owners are responsible for removing debris from their properties. To report a downed tree blocking a street, please call 271.4848.
