The Superior Express -

Hours of operation for Superior’s burn pit changed with the arrival of October. The pit is located in a former sand pit about three-quarters of a mile north of the cement terminal on west Eighth Street. A century ago the sand pit was served by a spur off the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the fine sand taken from the pit was shipped from here to be used in making of plaster. Through November, the burn pit will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Saturdays, it will be open from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.

Only trees, branches, vegetation and grass clippings are accepted. Wood and demolition material is not acceptable.
