BULLHEAD CITY, AZ – October 10, 2024— The City of Bullhead City, in collaboration with Mohave County, the Bullhead City Fire Department, Republic Services, and Nevada State Recycling, will host a community-wide recycling and waste disposal event on Saturday, October 19, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will take place at two locations: Gary Keith Park (2345 Highway 95) and the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (1325 Alonas Way).
Residents of Mohave County are invited to bring electronics, aluminum cans, and bulky items to Gary Keith Park, while household hazardous waste, such as used tires, will be collected at the Motor Vehicle Division. This event offers the community a chance to responsibly dispose of electronics, hazardous waste, and bulky items that are not typically collected by regular waste services.
City Manager Toby Cotter emphasized the significance of this event:
“We love the idea of having one day a year that makes it easy for the community to dispose of difficult items correctly. This event helps keep our community clean and provides a way to dispose of hazardous materials that aren’t allowed in the trash. I encourage everyone to clean out their garages and take advantage of this opportunity.”
Event Details:
- Date: Saturday, October 19, 2024
- Time: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Locations:
