Chelan County Solid Waste Update 4202020 City of Leavenworth

In a significant update on April 20, 2020, Chelan County solid waste management has revised its operational protocols in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The adjustments are designed to alleviate congestion at transfer stations, particularly on peak days like Fridays and Saturdays. Residents are urged to limit their drop-offs to household garbage and brush, with a strict prohibition on larger items such as furniture and appliances to enhance safety measures. Staff members are committed to regular sanitation of facilities and equipment, adhering to protective guidelines to protect both workers and the public. The Dryden Transfer Station will operate under a new credit card-only payment system during regular hours, while cash transactions are restricted to Fridays and Saturdays.

The Chelan Transfer Station has reverted to its normal hours but continues to accept only cash or checks. These changes reflect the county's ongoing commitment to public health and efficient waste management during the pandemic. Residents are encouraged to stay informed by visiting the Chelan County Solid Waste Management website for the latest updates.
