If you have yard debris from the thunderstorm that came through this weekend, here’s what city officials say you can do with it.

Mayor Allen Scott said that residents can also go online to the city website and fill out a report of Concern to schedule a yard debris pickup.  Here is that link: www.iworq.net/iworq/Web/Request.asp?cityid=1009&fid=702.

In Benton, Fire Chief Bill Ford said that Citizens may burn storm debris (limbs, leaves, and the like) by following Ordinance 31 of 2007 “Open Burning.”  The ordinance can be found on the City of Benton Website and follow the link to the Benton Fire Department homepage. Mayor Tom Farmer said that Benton citizens may also contact the Street Department at 501-776-5990 and they will pick it up.
