The Reno County Landfill will temporarily stop accepting burned debris on Tuesday after the National Weather Service issued a Fire Weather Watch for extreme grassland fire danger across the region.

Landfill officials said burned loads and fire-damaged materials will not be accepted from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17. The restriction applies only to burned materials; the landfill will remain open during its regular hours and will continue accepting all other loads as usual.

County officials said the temporary restriction is a precautionary measure aimed at reducing the risk of rekindled fires or flare-ups at the landfill during peak danger hours.
