County Judge Chris Keith says it’s a need his office has been hearing about since the storms rolled through.

“There was trees and stuff down from Kibler to Mulberry Plum up to Mountainburg so we’ve had several calls from citizens asking if there’s a place they can take them,” Keith said.

Debris can be taken to 7530 Alma Highway, Alma, AR 72921.

Below are the hours that the burn site will be operating:
