No bulk items ( e.g., mattress, couch, cleaning out the garage, etc ).

No yard clippings or tree trimmings. We recommend mulching yard clippings and / or having yard crew haul off debris.

Denny Hay

On November 6, 2019, the Fry Road MUD board lost one its valued directors. Denny Hay. Denny was on the board for 6 years and made every effort to be at board meetings even if that meant coming right after a doctor’s appointment, no matter how he felt. Denny believed in making decisions based on what was good for the community and for the district. Denny also advocated for his fellow veterans while on the board. Due to his advocacy, veterans get a 10% discount on District building rentals and the District has a special Veterans tab that has helpful links for veterans assistance.

We will miss Denny!
