Free voucher program for flood-damaged debris disposal open through Jan. 3
If your household experienced damage from the December windstorm and flood, the Chelan County Solid Waste program is offering a free flood disposal voucher program for residents to get rid of blown-down trees and flood-damaged debris.
The program is for in-city and unincorporated residents; however, only people who suffered property damage from the Dec. 10-11 storms are eligible. The voucher program runs through Jan. 3.
“This is the first time Chelan County has opened a program like this to help people who have damage from flooding,” said Eric Pierson, Chelan County Public Works director and county engineer. “We will keep it open through Jan. 3 and then re-evaluate to determine if people need additional days. Weather also may play a factor in our timeline so we’re asking people to please be patient.”
To start a flood disposal voucher, you must first complete a form, providing your name, address and other details. When you are ready to dispose of your load, take the debris and the form to one of two drop-off locations, where an attendant will review the debris load before accepting it into the free program.
Forms are available online here or at the drop-off locations, which are:
The Dryden Transfer Station, 9073 Hwy 2 near Dryden, is open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Holidays will impact those hours. See the facility’s website for its holiday closures.
The Leavenworth Day Pit, at East Leavenworth and Icicle roads, is open 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 23, Dec. 26-27, Dec. 29-30 and Jan. 2-3.
Each of the two drop-off sites has different guidelines for flood-related debris and woody debris. Go to the county’s website to read the full details before deciding which one you will use. Keep the following general guidelines in mind:
The Dryden Transfer Station does not take brush from the Apple Maggot Quarantine Zone, which includes most of Leavenworth, Plain and Lake Wenatchee. If you live in the quarantine zone, use the day pit at Leavenworth for woody debris.
The Leavenworth Day Pit is best suited for loads of up to 2 cubic yards of household refuse. If you have larger loads, use the Dryden Transfer Station.
If you anticipate having difficulties unloading or lifting materials into a roll-off (a large container with high sides), use the Dryden Transfer Station.
Flood-damaged materials accepted include: tree debris, spoiled food and water-damaged clothing, furniture, toys, appliances, flooring, insulation and wallboard.
Neither site will take rock or soil, concrete or demolition waste.
If a load does not qualify for the free voucher program, then standard disposal fees apply.
