The city of Sedona has been working with Waste Management to put dumpsters in areas with flood damage and debris. The dumpsters are expected to be deployed by Thursday, Nov. 5, at:

  • Bear Wallow Lane
  • Copper Cliffs Drive
  • Blackhawk Lane
  • Trails End Drive
  • Sycamore Road
  • Portal Lane

If more dumpsters are needed, the city will consider adding additional dumpsters or adding new areas.
