Free Chipper Day and combined Tire and Appliance Amnesty Day

POMEROY–Garfield County will hold a combined Appliance Amnesty, Tire Amnesty and free Chipper Day for county residents on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 8 a.m.–2 p.m. the old rock pit off Gould City-Mayview Rd.

Disposed items must fall within the following guidelines. Tires should have rims removed and be free of dirt and water. NO combine tires. Appliance items such as dishwashers, hot water heaters, stoves, air conditioners, refrigerators, washer/dryers, and freezers will be accepted. No TVs.

What can you bring? Clean yard and garden debris will be accepted, including pine needles, limbs, and small logs (up to 15 inches). Loads that contain a lot of dirt, root balls or anything over 15 inches in diameter will not be accepted. If you are bringing leaves and pine needles in garbage bags that’s fine, but you will be asked to take the empty bags with you.

Support for this event provided in part by the Washington State Dept. of Ecology. For more information, contact Garfield County Recycling at 509-843-3710
