Residents of Bullhead City are urged to be mindful of what they dispose of in the sewer system, following a warning from John Trequato of the city's wastewater division during the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on January 15, 2025. Trequato emphasized that only human waste, toilet paper, and gray water should be flushed down toilets. He highlighted the significant problems caused by flushing non-disposable items such as wipes, paper towels, and plastic products, which can lead to costly sewer backups. These backups not only disrupt services but can also result in repair costs exceeding $50,000, ultimately impacting taxpayers.

In addition to the sewer system discussion, the meeting showcased Rotary Park as Bullhead City's premier outdoor sports destination. Located at 2315 Balboa Drive, the park features extensive facilities, including six softball fields, a baseball field, a football field, eight lighted pickleball courts, and more. With over 300 acres dedicated to recreational activities, the park is open daily from 4:30 AM to 11 PM, providing ample opportunities for community engagement and physical activity.

The city also provided updates on solid waste management, noting that Republic Services is contracted for trash collection. Residents are reminded that both blue and green carts are designated for trash, with collection occurring Monday through Thursday across various service areas. Each resident is entitled to six bulky item pickups per year, which can be scheduled through the city’s website.

These discussions reflect Bullhead City's commitment to maintaining public services and enhancing community facilities, ensuring a cleaner environment and better recreational opportunities for all residents.
