Wildfire season is coming up and it is a great time to be out preparing your property.  This year we are partnering on opportunities throughout the county to dispose of yard debris and brush with a goal of reducing backyard burning.  Burning is an important tool for forest and farm management, but we can reduce seasonal smoke considerably if wet leaves, pine needles, and freshly cut brush is taken to compost facilities as an alternative to burning.  The events listed below are intended for residents of the City or area directly

CHELAN/MANSON AREA RESIDENTS: Chelan Transfer Station  5/20  10:00-4:00 - POSTPONED - CHECK BACK FOR NEW DATE

PESHASTIN/DRYDEN AREA RESIDENTS: Dryden Transfer Station TBD - POSTPONED - CHECK BACK FOR NEW DATE
