Wood Stove Collection a Success

On June 5 and 6 Ecology collected woodstoves at the Twisp transfer station and the Okanogan County Central Landfill.  The events collected 105 stoves reducing a potential of 2 tons of particulate matter.  Kimi Matsushima posted a great summary of the event on Ecologies blogpost.  The most often comment from people bringing in stoves was, Thank you.  People appreciated the opportunity to turn in stoves for recycling, decluttering and gaining some cash. 

Thanks to Okanogan County Solid Waste for hosting the events and providing support equipment to move heavy stoves.
