DNREC’s Polly Drummond Hill and DART Mid-County Community yard waste site are scheduled to close for maintenance the week of Sept. 7-10 and Sept. 13-17, respectively, for routine maintenance.
The Polly Drummond site is off Polly Drummond Hill Road, about a half mile north of the Kirkwood Highway near Newark.
The Mid-County site is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Route 13 and Route 72 near Bear.
Polly Drummond is scheduled to reopen at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 11, while Mid-County is scheduled to return to its regular schedule at 8:30 Saturday, Sept. 18, said Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control officials.
New Castle County residents wishing to drop off yard waste when the Polly Drummond Hill or Mid-Count sites are closed can take yard waste to several other alternatives, DNREC officials said. A list of these alternatives, can be found at www.dnrec.delaware.gov/yardwaste.
The regular hours for both sites are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, unless otherwise posted.
Commercial businesses, such as landscaping and lawn care companies as well as municipalities, are not eligible to drop off materials at the sites.
More information can be found online, or by calling 302-739-9403.
