Accepting Marshall Fire Debris from Recovery Area

On Dec. 30, 2021 the Marshall Fire ignited near the Town of Superior and spread to the City of Louisville. Preliminary damage assessment teams have identified more than 1,000 damaged or destroyed homes. These are our neighbors who will literally be rebuilding their lives and their homes for the next few years. One of the first steps to rebuilding is to clear away the debris currently on site, and that debris has to be moved to a landfill.
