The Bullhead City Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on January 15, 2025, highlighted critical issues regarding waste management and the city's recreational facilities.

A significant portion of the discussion focused on the improper disposal of waste, particularly non-flushable items such as wipes, plastic bags, and other debris that are causing severe sewer backups. Officials emphasized that these items lead to costly repairs, with estimates ranging from $40,000 to $50,000 for pump replacements and maintenance. The message was clear: residents must avoid flushing anything other than human waste and toilet paper to prevent further complications.

In addition to waste management concerns, the meeting showcased Rotary Park as Bullhead City's premier outdoor sports destination. The park features extensive facilities, including six softball fields, a baseball field, a football field, eight lighted pickleball courts, and a nine-hole disc golf course, among others. Located at 2315 Balboa Drive, Rotary Park is open daily from 4:30 AM to 11 PM, providing ample opportunities for community recreation.

The city also updated residents on solid waste collection services provided by Republic Services. With residential recycling discontinued, both blue and green carts are now designated for trash. Trash collection occurs Monday through Thursday, with specific service areas outlined for each day. Residents are allowed six bulky item pickups per year, which can be scheduled through the city's website.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of responsible waste disposal and highlighted the city's commitment to maintaining and enhancing recreational facilities for the community.
