Dumpster Program Important Note:
If you have done work this year to create or maintain defensible space by raking pine needles or removing trees, please complete a simple online Homeowner Activity Sheet form. Your efforts provide matching funds that are invaluable to keeping the overall project costs low and continuing the project into the future. Click here for that form.

The above is essential for us to be able to provide this free service each year!

The Dumpster is back for 2008!

Dumpster ProgramWe appreciate the community's support and labor put into making Groom Creek a safer and more beautiful place. The dumpster program is where the Groom Creek Fire District provides a large dumpster at the fire station that residents can use to dispose of UNBAGGED yard litter (pine needles, leaves, small branches).

Dumpster Program Rules:

  • NO BAGGED ITEMS!! Dispose of only unbagged pine needles and leaf litter in these containers (slash and other materials can be chipped - see Jeff Archer for details). Very small diameter branches (under 1/4" in diameter) are ok.
  • Place all material as far forward in the container as possible.
  • Do not overfill - the top of the container is the maximum allowed by the trash bin provider (to avoid extra charges).
  • Dumpers available on a first come / first served basis to Groom Creek Fire District Residents ONLY.
  • Clean up all materials that miss the container before you leave.
  • Close container doors when completed.

Please call Jeff Archer at 928-778-6519 if you have any questions about this program.
