Inyo County news release
FREE “Green Waste” Disposal
In preparation for what is anticipated to be another unpredictable wildfire
season, the Inyo County Office of Emergency Services would like to remind
communities that we all must be diligent in maintaining a level of
preparedness.
Removing weeds, brush and other dead and dry vegetation from around our homes and properties, will help provide the defensible spce that firefighters may need to protect our homes.
Many Inyo County residents live next to a natural area, the “Wildland Urban Interface”. By keeping your home and property clear of overgrown vegetation and debris, you create a buffer that will keep the fire away from your home and will reduce the risk of
flying embers.
To encourage communities to continue to be proactive in
vegetation management and wildfire prevention activities, the County of Inyo
will be waiving the gate fees for “GREEN WASTE” disposal at ALL Inyo County
landfills over the weekend of July 27th and 28th. The gate fees will be waived
for “GREEN WASTE ONLY”. NO MIXED LOADS! Applicable to Inyo County
residents only ‐ Please have ID available. Commercial haulers and landscaping
contractors are NOT ELIGIBLE.
