The City of Vernon ponts out businesses are responsible for making their own arrangements for the appropriate disposal of wooden pallets and oversized materials. These items must be collected or disposed of immediately, and leaving them outside is considered illegal dumping.

“Your efforts make a difference,” Parsons said. “Together we can help reduce the risk of fire and help keep our businesses and community safe.”
