Free Yard Waste Disposal-Chipping Drive at Twisp Transfer
April 22, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Free Chipping Drive
Help keep our spring air clean by chipping your yard waste instead of burning!
It is spring! In the Methow Valley that means abundant Arrowleaf blooms and the burning of woody debris piles. Clearing out woody debris and yard waste around homes and properties is a vital part of being fire-wise and improving forest health. Lots of outdoor pile burning however—especially piles of green branches—contributes to poor air quality at a time when the skies should be clear. In late summer we expect smoke from wildfires. How can we reduce our smoke at other times of year to protect those who are most vulnerable to cumulative smoke exposure?
Clean Air Methow is partnering with Resilient Methow and Okanogan County Solid Waste with funding from Washington Department of Ecology to waive fees for Green Waste Disposal on April 20, 22 and 29 at the Twisp Transfer Station. This is a great opportunity to reduce fuel load around your house while avoiding contributing to smoky skies.
When: April 20, 22 and 29 10a.m. to 3p.m.
Where: Twisp Transfer Center
Cost: Free!
