Good morning, Gilbert.

Gilbert experienced two garbage truck fires in the past month that resulted in the loss of one truck costing about $500,000, and officials advise residents to dispose of hazardous materials—like batteries and propane tanks—in proper facilities—while ensuring bins remain closed to help prevent future fires.

Farmer Boys opened its second restaurant in Gilbert at 3309 S.

Val Vista Dr. + it is open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight with dine-in, drive-thru, and online ordering, and franchisee Omar Mawas said more Arizona locations are planned later this year.

Barry Morphew was arrested in Gilbert on renewed charges for the murder of his wife Suzanne who disappeared on Mother’s Day 2020—whose remains were later found in a shallow grave—and her friend Tisha Leewaye said the arrest offers renewed hope for justice as Barry waived his right to an extradition hearing.

Gilbert officials say two garbage truck fires last month have raised concerns about what residents are disposing of after one fire gutted a truck’s automated side loader worth $500,000 today.

Public Works will begin a campaign to show residents how to safely dispose of hazardous materials — like lithium ion batteries and chemicals — to help prevent future fires and avoid costly replacements.

An Arizona restaurateur will lead a Heritage District project to preserve Clare House—one of Gilbert’s oldest homes—while transforming the surrounding area into a vibrant social space.
