Parks staff will open the area on the first weekend of each month. Gates will be open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both that Saturday and Sunday.
The area will not be staffed, so guests will need to load the materials on their own. Those wishing to pick up materials will need to complete a liability waiver before accessing the area. Click here to download the waiver. Waivers must be submitted to the City's Public Works Offices at 201 W Chestnut Street.
The goal of this new opportunity is to provide a free service to those in our community who could use some of the excess wood or wood chips. This will not be an opportunity to drop off brush collected from your property.
Those who do not follow the rules for the recycle center or who drop off brush instead of taking wood chips or fire wood, will lose their access to the area. If those people continue to use the recycle center, they will receive a citation from the City.
Weekends that free wood chips or firewood will be available:
- March 1-2
- April 5-6
- May 3-4
- June 7-8
- July 5-6
- August 2-3
- September 6-7
- October 4-5
- November 1-2
- December 6-7
