This year will include a voucher option for those unable to take advantage of the Saturday, Nov. 12, drop-off date, which includes brush. A single-use voucher may be picked up in advance by driving through the car lane at the Resource Recovery Plant, 410 E. Second St. This voucher may be used from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, at 400 Freel Drive. The voucher must be redeemed at time of disposal.
Those participating in Fall No-Charge Yard Waste Days are asked to enter the site from South Dayton Avenue, then west on Southeast Fifth Street, and north on Freel Drive. Drivers should exit the site north on Freel Drive to Lincoln Way.
