Given the obvious demand for slash disposal this year (it was a first that it had to close early due to being full) an additional slash weekend has been organized.

Dates: July 25th and July 26th 2009
Times: 8:30 a.m. until 4:00p.m. [OR UNTIL FULL]
Location: Fire Station #2 - Hwy 72 & Camp Eden Road.

* Tree branches, bushes are the main goal for this slash collection. (The pile will be chipped immediately after collection.)
* Pine needles are allowed (so long as dumped out of any containing garbage sacks.)
* No stumps (unless chopped up into smaller pieces.)
* Log sizes should be (roughly) no larger than 8 foot long and 6 inches in diameter.
* Absolutely no trash, and no commercial dumping.
* If (say) you heat your home with wood and would like to take home logs that others have dumped, that is fine.
* There is no problem with actively beetle infested wood (since the wood will be immediately chipped.)
