Neighborhood News

The county-operated, drop-off brush site in Leavenworth is now permanently closed

The public brush site has seen decreasing participation in the last couple years, going from annually collecting more than 1,500 cubic yards to collecting 458 cubic yards in 2024.

“Our only goal with the site was to break even, but the low participation means revenues are not covering costs, including hauling and staff time,” said Eric Pierson, Chelan County Public Works director and county engineer. “To cover our costs, we would have to raise the fee to over $150 a drop-off. And that is not reasonable. The good news is the community has a viable option at the nearby compost facility in Winton, which may account for the drop in participation at the county site.”
