As part of ongoing recovery efforts for the victims of the wildfires up the North Umpqua Highway, Douglas County Commissioners have set up a special program for disposal of fire related wood waste material at the Glide Transfer Station.

A release said there is no cost for this disposal but the program is only available to residents of the Glide and Idleyld Park area who were directly affected by the wildfires.

The release said a sign at the transfer station will direct traffic to a canopy tent, where an attendant will check residents in, record information, and direct them to a designated area to dump the fire related wood waste. The facility is on Glide Transfer Road. It is open Wednesday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

At this time, only fire related wood waste that is clearly burnt or charred from the fires is being accepted. It should be clean and not mixed with other household debris.
