Good news! our Green Waste site is back open. Take advantage of the next open date as we are quickly approaching the warmer/dryer months and soon we will have to close the site for the summer. Watch for opening times and dates updated on this Webpage or the Green information board located on Big Bprings Road in front of the administration building. Remember the green waste site is available for Lake Shastina & Rancho Hills property owners or their agents only. We only accept green waste. No household items of any kind.

Our new engine bay is working out nicely for our department. We are now able to keep all four of our Engines inside a spacious climate controlled building. Stay tuned for more updates as the construction is still “work in progress”.
