400 Freel Drive will be the collection site and all collected materials are shielded from
view by trees, berms or business structures.

the eastern portion of the 400 Freel Drive site, away from observation of the general
public from the street.
A gate has been installed across the entrance to the 400 Freel Drive site and other
measures undertaken to prevent after hours dumping.
The 210 Freel Drive site will only be used on City of Ames designated "Free Days"for
traffic to egress the 400 Freel Drive site. A gate will also be placed on the 400 Freel
