RAPID CITY, SD—The Rapid City Council Monday night approved a plan to temporarily remove recycling and yard waste containers at Fitzgerald Stadium for the upcoming American Legion Post 22 Firecracker Tournament.

City Solid Waste officials indicate the yard waste and recyclables disposal site at Fitzgerald Stadium will close from June 28 through July 6 to provide increased parking capacity for the popular annual baseball tournament.  The plan was requested by tournament organizers.

            The remote site will be cleared of yard waste, cardboard and recyclable containers on Wednesday, June 28 and the area will be striped the next day for an additional 50 parking spots for the annual baseball tournament, which is set to begin Friday June 30.  During the tournament period and through July 6, items can be taken to the remote disposal site at West Boulevard North or the Rapid City Landfill site on Highway 79. The Fitzgerald remote disposal site will be open for public access July 7.

            Signage will be placed at the Fitzgerald remote site alerting the public the site will be closed during the nine-day period.
