WILLIAMS — The Kaibab National Forest, in cooperation with the communities of Parks and Sherwood Forest Estates will be re-opening Moonset Pit on May 4, 2024 for residents to dispose of green waste materials from private property.The pit will be open every other Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. until September 7, 2024. Moonset Pit is located just west of the Parks community, east of Spitz Springs on the north side of old Route 66.
Green waste may be disposed at the pit only while staff is present. They may close due to lightning.
Local area residents are encouraged to take advantage this free opportunity as they make their private property defensible against the threat of wildfire this season.
Users may discard natural woody debris such a logs, limbs, branches, brush, needles, and leaves. Stumps/roots must be clear of dirt and rocks.
No bagged substances, lumber, construction material, household garbage or any other items can be deposited at the site.
This service would not be possible without the volunteers who have helped manage the site over the last 15+ years. For additional information or to volunteer to staff Moonset Pit, contact community coordinators Kathie Krushinksy, Sue Hamilton, or George Chambers. See attached flyer for contact information.
