How do I....

Dispose of Cut Noxious Weeds​

1. Stack, cover, allow to dry, and burn on site* (if outside the city and UGB).  *​Please do NOT burn poison oak​ —the smoke can carry the oils.​
   
2. Haul, covered or bagged, to Salem-Keizer Recycling & Transfer Station or North Marion Recycling & Transfer Station. 
   
3. Haul, covered or bagged, to Recology NW Greenlands​​ in Aumsville, Oregon. ​
4. Put into trash.
   
5. IF weeds have no signs of producing see​d, it is okay to compost (no ivy in home compost).
