Hazardous waste drop-off, a night with the Council and Veterans Day closures: Yuma's next 10 days

The election's over, mostly. Life isn't. Here's what's coming up in the next 10 days that's worth putting on the fridge.

Sunday, Nov. 8: Last call on ballot signatures

If you voted early and the County couldn't match your signature, you have until 5 p.m. Sunday to fix it. Here's how.

Monday, Nov. 9: Connect with Council

The mayor and City Council members will be at the MLK Center, 300 S. 13th Ave., from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to talk with residents.

It's the first one since Tuesday's election, when City voters approved Props 436 and 437. What those do. If you've got a question about either, or about anything else, this is the easy way to ask it to their faces. More on the event.

Wednesday, Nov. 11: Veterans Day

• Yuma City Hall is closed and reopens Thursday, Nov. 12.
• The Arizona Secretary of State's office is closed too.
• The parade: American Legion Post 19 has hosted Yuma's Veterans Day parade the last two years, starting at 9 a.m. along 4th Avenue near 17th Street and ending at Post 19 on Virginia Drive, with an 11th Hour ceremony at 11 a.m. We couldn't find this year's details posted yet, so check with Post 19 before you head out.

Saturday, Nov. 14: Household Hazardous Waste Day

This is the last free drop-off of 2026. If the garage has been collecting old paint cans since January, this is your morning.

• When: 8 a.m. to noon
• Where: City of Yuma Public Works Facility, 1473 S. 2nd Ave. Follow the traffic signs.
• Who: City of Yuma and Yuma County residents. It's free.
