The Chelan County drop-off brush site

Posted

Leavenworth, at the corner of East Leavenworth and Icicle roads, is open. Hours are 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Cost to use the site is $15 a cubic yard, with a $15 minimum. Users must pay with cash or check.

  The Leavenworth drop-off brush site serves residents and businesses in the Apple Maggot Quarantine Zone, which includes much of western Chelan County, including Leavenworth, Plain and Lake Wenatchee. To determine if you live in the zone, type your address into the Washington State Department of Agriculture’s online searchable map:https://www.arcgis.com/apps/InformationLookup/index.html?appid=5754ccc895ff4530b9a3258a169a7802

  State law prohibits brush and homegrown fruit from a quarantine area to leave a quarantine area. The Dryden Transfer Station is located in a pest-free area; it does not accept yard waste from the quarantine area.

  If you live in the quarantine area:

  • Do not take homegrown fruit and green waste to the Dryden Transfer Station.
  • Do not put homegrown fruit and green waste in your curbside garbage container.
  • Do not take homegrown fruit and green waste out of the quarantined area.
