Dear Yuma Residents,
We regret to inform you that both of our trash trucks are currently experiencing mechanical issues and
are temporarily out of service. We understand that this comes at a particularly inconvenient time,
especially given the recent storm damage our community has sustained.
Please rest assured that we are working tirelessly to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We have
already ordered the necessary parts for repairs and are actively seeking a replacement truck to minimize
any disruption to our services.

Axon Network is a company law enforcement uses that provides equipment such as body cams. The City of Yuma uses this equipment. Axon Aid is a division staffed by employees that are on a volunteer basis. This division has provided 2 drones free of charge to assess the damage in the City of Yuma this evening and tomorrow morning. The results of this should be interesting and we will share the results as soon as we receive them.   

Due to damages the Community Enrichment Center Will Be Closed until things are cleaned up. Please note: The kitchen is open for NECALG for the Meet & Eat Program. Please contact NECALG for more information.

Debris such as trees, limbs, leaves & grass can be placed in the middle of the street in a pile for the city to dispose of. PLEASE DO NOT PILE IN THE GUTTER! All other debris must be taken to the County Landfill. If you have a way to haul your own trees, limbs, leaves and grass, the city has set up a site at the City Shop for disposal. This service will be offered until further notice, but please complete your removal process in a timely manner. If you have further questions please call the City Hall at 970-848-3878 ext. 1.

If you have debris to dispose of from your property within the city limits, you can take it to the City Shop located at 115 W Railroad Ave. There is a grass pile that will be coned off for your disposal. Please note only Trees, Grass and Leaves will be allowed to be dumped in this location. If you have debris other than that, please dispose of that at the county landfill.

The City of Yuma will not be picking up trash today. We will keep you updated as to when we will resume.

All Recreation Activities for today have been cancelled.

Last night's hail storm has significantly impacted our city. We are currently assessing the damage and will begin clean-up efforts as soon as possible, utilizing all available personnel and contractors if needed. Our main focus is clearing roadways to ensure proper storm water runoff.

Thankfully our electrical system has not suffered extensive damage, but please stay vigilant for downed powerlines and other hazards. We are working hard to restore normalcy and appreciate your patience. We'll keep you updated as we have more information.

Stay safe, Yuma!
