Sandbag Disposal Drop-off Sites Identified In Bismarck and Burleigh County

Bismarck, N.D.  -  Two locations have been established for residents to drop off unneeded sandbags.

Bismarck State College, campus parking lot located on the west side of the intersection at College Drive and Schafer Street, in the northwest corner of the lot.  Residents are asked to break open their sandbags and dump the sand in the area indicated by a sign.  A dumpster is also on site for disposal of empty sandbags.

Burleigh County Fairgrounds, parking lot south of the 4-H Building (area has been marked off in red paint on the ground)

City of Bismarck residents will be notified of curbside sandbag pick-up dates next week when a schedule is finalized.

“The outpouring of support and cooperation from the community is a testament to the eager spirit of our citizens and “neighbor helping neighbor” as they came forward to meet the needs of the community”, said Mayor John Warford. “Now citizens can move ahead with sandbag removal.”      

Sandbags are available at no cost at the City of Bismarck Landfill for city and county residents during normal hours of operation, Monday thru Friday, 8AM-6PM, and Saturday, 8AM-4PM.  The City of Bismarck Landfill will be open for sandbag pickup from 8 AM-Noon, Friday, April 10th.
