Thurston County  Outdoor Burning

ORCAA encourages residents to seek reasonable alternatives to burning when feasible.

• Curb-side pickup service for yard waste material exists throughout most of Thurston County. Contact Thurston County Solid Waste.
• Composting turns your yard waste into a great soil additive, at NO COST.
• Chipping woody materials create an effective ground cover that blocks weed growth and improves drainage.
• Dropping off yard waste at composting facilities and transfer stations is easy and cost-effective.
• Residents who do burn must remember that they may ONLY burn natural vegetation gathered on site.
