Free Chipping Drive for Methow Valley Residents at Twisp Transfer-April 20, 22, 29

Free Curbside Chipping Drive for Twisp Residents-April 17

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, Okanogan County Solid Waste and Twisp Public Works to hold several free chipping drives in April to help you dispose of your hard waste without producing smoke.
