Alternatives to Burning Yard Debris

There are many great ways to dispose of yard materials as an alternative to burning.  Even if you plan to burn your spruce bark beetle killed wood, burning restrictions sometimes do not allow for burning due to daily weather, air quality and/ or wildfire danger concerns.  If you have woody debris, grass, leaves or other organic yard waste, check out these options for disposal:


2007 Citywide Cleanup 
 There will be free residential disposal at all MOA/SWS disposal sites at the Central Transfer Station and the Anchorage Regional Landfill only during designated dates and hours.    Click Here for information on dates, hours and guidelines.


Wood Lots
The Anchorage Fire Department Wildfire Mitigation Office will again sponsor free residential wood lots for the disposal of woody debris.  They are expected to open in May 2007.  Click here for updates on opening dates and hours of operation.


Anchorage Regional Composting Facility
Leaves, brush and stumps can be taken to the Anchorage Regional Composting Facility. Their hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Call (907) 243-8577 for details and prices. This facility also accepts woody material (logs, branches, etc.).
