Forest Service News Release
Moonset Pit Green Waste Disposal Area Extends Open Dates through September 10th
Williams, AZ, July 28, 2022 – For Immediate Release. The Kaibab National Forest, in cooperation with the communities of Parks and Sherwood Forest Estates is pleased to announce the extended open season for Moonset Pit green waste disposal area will now run through September 10, 2022. This pit is 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., Saturday-July 30, Saturday-August 13, Saturday-August 27, and Saturday-September 10, 2022.
Users will only be allowed to access and discard natural woody debris such as logs, limbs, branches, brush, needles, and leaves on these dates while staff is present. No bagged substances, lumber, construction material, household garbage or any other items should be deposited at the site.
Moonset Pit is located just west of the Parks community on a dirt road east of Spitz Springs on the north side of old Route 66. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this facility to make their private property more defensible against the threat of wildland fire.
The Kaibab National Forest would like to thank Coconino County for providing the facility at the Moonset Pit, and for helping manage the vegetation, pine needles, branches, and other waste there. Also, a big thank you to all of the volunteers who have helped manage this vegetation waste disposal site over the last 15+
years. Specifically, thank you to Kathie Krushinsky, Sue Hamilton, and Joanie Reatzel for all of their volunteer contributions. Their work makes it possible for us to continue providing this free opportunity to our community, and has made it possible for us to extend the open dates through September 10th.
