      Presho area volunteers will gather at 10:00 AM in front of the Thrift store to assist elderly and disabled residents of Presho with clean-up. 

      To volunteer time or equipment or if in need of assistance contact the Presho Area Chamber office at 895-9445.

      White goods such as appliances, hot water heaters and other scrap metal will be taken but all freon must be removed and the item tagged with an appropriate affidavit. 

      Items not accepted include tires, batteries, waste oil and other hazardous waste.
