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.

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