Dumping Garbage Illegal on National Forest
WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Dumping garbage is an increasing problem at the Moonset Pit on the Kaibab National Forest. Forest officials remind citizens that dumping garbage on National Forest land is illegal and could result in fines. The Pit is located on National Forest land west of Parks and east of Spitz Springs on the north side of Old Route 66. Moonset Pit is an important customer service offered by the Kaibab National Forest, Parks and Sherwood Forest Estates for community members to deposit natural, woody debris cleaned from their property. If people continue to dump garbage at the Pit, it will be closed. The Pit is open and staffed by community volunteers on the following dates: July 7, July 28, Aug. 11, Aug. 25, Sept. 8, Sept. 22 and tentatively Oct. 13 & Oct. 27. Martie Schramm, Williams District Ranger said, “We want people to continue taking steps to reduce the risk of a wildfire starting or spreading on their property by depositing their natural, woody debris at the Pit. With everyone’s help, we can keep the Pit open.” For more information, please contact Punky Moore at 928-635-5653. -USFS-
