Chelan County has made significant adjustments to its solid waste management programs due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, particularly impacting operations at the Dryden and Chelan Transfer Stations. These facilities are now open exclusively on Fridays and Saturdays, with a strong emphasis on general household waste to alleviate congestion from larger loads of spring-cleaning debris.

The county expresses gratitude to the community for their understanding and cooperation during these temporary changes.
