AROUND TOWN

🌲🗑️The City of Flagstaff is starting pine needle disposal this week in Railroad Springs, with University Heights the following week and other neighborhoods to follow. Dumpsters will be placed for residents to dispose of pine needles and organic material.

BUSINESS NEWS

🎨🥳 Congratulations to Meadowlark Art Studio on its one year anniversary in downtown Flagstaff!

TOGETHER WITH FLAGSTAFF HEAT TAPE

Get your home ready for summer with our Spring Gutter Cleaning Special. For just $100 for single-story and $125 for two-story homes, our expert team will clear your roof, gutters, and downspouts, ensuring proper drainage and preventing water damage.

🌲✨ Why is gutter cleaning essential? Clogged gutters can lead to roof leaks, foundation issues, and—especially in our area—fire hazards from pine needles. Clear out debris now to protect your home before fire season starts.

Call Flagstaff Heat Tape today at 928-224-8405 and secure your spot for a safer, cleaner home.
