We recommend citizens contact a local fire extinguisher company for disposal. Some fire extinguishers may contain hazardous components that these companies can manage better. The fire department cannot take old fire extinguishers for this reason. All fire extinguishers are under pressure, and the extinguishing agent is a fine powder. This has been known to irritate airways and cause breathing problems in sensitive persons.

Oil:
If you need to dispose of waste oil, you have two options. Firstly, you can take it to one of the local auto parts stores that accept it for recycling. However, it’s recommended that you call them first to confirm that they are able to take it. The second option is to transport it to the Prescott Transfer Station on Sundog Ranch Road. They accept used motor oil, antifreeze, and cooking oil in original containers at no charge, but only from individuals. Note that there’s a 5-gallon maximum per month, and they don’t accept waste oil from businesses.
Gasoline:
As for old gasoline, you have a couple of options. If you have a large volume of it, you can take it to the Bennett Oil facility located at 11935 E. Wood Drive in Dewey, AZ. Note that none of the other Bennett Oil locations accept used gasoline. They do accept up to 55 gallons of used fuel, per person, per day, but there’s a current charge (as of 1/11/24) of $3.00 per gallon. Bennett Oil can be contacted at 928-759-0862. If you have a small volume of old gasoline that is not contaminated (meaning it has not turned dark brown and has no particulates in it), you can add about ½ gallon of your old fuel to a full tank of fresh gasoline in your vehicle. You can repeat this process until your old gasoline has been used.

You will need to select the box that best suits your needs and mount it before calling the Fire Department Administration Offices at 928-777-1700 to schedule a time to have the keys placed inside.

There are many reasons why there may be smoke in the air. It could be as simple as a fireplace or BBQ near your house. Larger amounts could be the result of a fire near your house, either building or brush. A large amount of smoke could also be the result of large fires burning miles away from Prescott, but the prevailing winds are bringing the smoke into our area. Lastly, sometimes smoke in the air is the result of prescribed burning of brush, in order to decrease fire danger in the greater Prescott region. The vast majority of “Prescribed Burns” are managed by State or Federal agencies, not the Prescott Fire Department, and take place on lands outside the city limits. More information is available at the Prescott National Forest website, www.fs.usda.gov/detail/prescott/home/?cid=FSWDEV3_009865. Any burns scheduled inside the city limits will be advertised and distributed by way a press releases prior the burning taking place.
