Message from Mayor on Tornado Debris

Subject: Tornado Debris

There have been several questions regarding debris removal. I will try to make this as simple as possible to explain.

If VOLUNTEERS OR PROPERTY OWNERS have cleaned your yard, please have them separate debris into the following categories at the curb:

1-Vegetation
2-Metal
3-Sheet rock/Insulation
4-Shingles

The City of Mena will pick up these items.

If you have CONTRACTED OR PAID SOMEONE, it is the responsibility of the contractor to dispose of any construction debris that includes shingles. They can take the vegetation and all other white lumber (no treated lumber, no metal cleats or truss plates, no trash) to Mid South. They can call Southern Disposal @ 479-394-2175 and arrange for a dumpster, or about fees for disposal. There is also an option to haul to the nearest landfill, Nashville or Fort Smith, AR. Those are the two closest landfills.
