Chelan County, Washington

Can I burn trash outdoors?

Household trash cannot be burned

Chelan County's current guidance lists trash among the materials that cannot be open-burned. A brush-burning allowance does not extend to trash.

This answer covers ordinary household-trash disposal in confirmed unincorporated county jurisdiction. It does not report today's emergency restrictions or authorize any other burn.

Official source reviewed September 29, 2026. Changed, missing, expired or unavailable evidence produces no burning answer.
