Following a temporary closure due to staffing demands, the Idyllwild Grinding Facility will resume normal seasonal operation starting Wednesday, Jan. 6. Under winter seasonal hours, the facility will be open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed noon to 1 p.m.) until June.
The facility is located at the 5,000-foot marker, 1 mile south of the Idyllwild transfer station on Highway 243. The site accepts wood waste affected by the bark beetle. Prohibited waste includes household waste, appliances, e-waste, metals, tires, burned debris and other hazardous, explosive and medical wastes. Customers who use the facility pay a per-ton rate on pre-paid accounts.
