Town to take yard waste for cleanup

The town of Coulee Dam still plans on its traditional, spring cleanup help with yard waste despite the fact that the areawide spring cleanup was altered this year.

Grant County officials told the Regional Board of Mayors recently that the traditional waving of fees at the transfer station for spring cleanup is not legal, so the mayors agreed on a reduced fee for dumping yard waste, not free.

Coulee Dam has its own spot for dumping yard waste, so will continue with that service for its citizens April 3-10.

“Since we do not use the landfill to dispose of our brush or our chips, we will continue to do that,” Mayor Bob Poch told the town council at its regular meeting March 10.

In other business, the council continues to work on new animal control ordinances and will explore a possible arrangement with the Colville Tribes for times when impoundment is necessary.

The town is working on selling as surplus two pieces of equipment: an unused 460-volt, three-phase generator purchase several years ago for the old wastewater treatment plant. It has never been used, Poch said, and the new plant would need different equipment. Also, the town’s old ambulance is up for sale.
