Southern Idaho Solid Waste and Total Waste Management donated equipment and large dumpsters to the effort. Commercial Tire picked up the tire disposal fees. Other sponsors included Walton Construction, Ace Hardware Rupert and Hauns Hardware. K & R Rental also supported the effort by sponsoring a skid steer for the day.
