The City of Marion and Crittenden County are each keeping their debris dumps open to the public round the clock.Both locations are for logs, limbs and other plant matter. No garbage or household refuse can be left there. Both are free of charge.
The city's dump site is on Mill Street. Its can be accessed best from East Depot Street. It's a gravel road next to the old railway. The city will NOT pick up limbs or other storm debris left on the curbside.
The county's storm debris dump site is located on Bridwell Loop Road at the entrance of the old county dump.
Our Sunday School Class from the Marion United Methodist Church helped saw up limbs and clean up a few yards around Marion Sunday afternoon. It's a good idea for groups like that to help folks in need. Many older people who live alone are unable to meet the physical demands such cleanup requires. The Marion Baptist Church is sponsoring a similar effort.
