Skagit County Transfer and Recycling Station to be closed August 9 for paving

SKAGIT COUNTY - The Skagit County Transfer and Recycling Station, located at 14104 Ovenell Road in Mount Vernon, will be closed August 9, 2012 to allow for final paving of facility improvements.
Over the past year, Skagit County Public Works has been upgrading the main solid waste handling facility, transitioning from prior incinerator operations to a state-of-the-art transfer station designed to provide for solid waste handling needs for at least the next 20 years. The facility improvements include a new 23,000 square foot tipping floor for solid waste handling activities, as well as a new self-service recycling area designed to provide customers with an improved recycling experience.

Final paving of the facility will occur on August 9, 2012 (weather permitting) and will require the facility to be closed to the public for one day. Normal operations should resume on August 10, 2012 assuming weather delays do not interfere with planned paving.

Customers needing to dispose of waste during the closure are welcome to visit the Clear Lake Compactor Site located at 23159 Howey Road in Clear Lake or the Sauk Transfer Station located at 50796 State Route 20 in Concrete. Normal operations at the Skagit County Transfer Station are expected to resume August 10, 2012.
