Smoke is unhealthy and unattractive. Should find alternate use for the dead trees and vegetation - hog fuel, chips, burn in controlled atmosphere to create steam for electricity generation.

We live in the high desert, a dry environment prone to fires. With what has happened in CA, I am for any effort to thwart such a disaster as happened in Paradise, CA.

Prescribed burning has been going on for more years than I’ve been alive, it helps clean up the excess debris and undergrowth that fuels big wildfires.

The smoke from the Mega fires is much more intrusive and unhealthy for communities. Prescribed burns are conducted when air streams carry smoke away for the most part. 10x more smoke with uncontroll

Obviously, if kids who shouldn't be riding these bikes cannot ride them to school, that represents hours of the day that they won't be on them, being reckless, violating basic rules of the road, and putting lives, including theirs, in danger.

I have a business literally across the street from their office/dump location and still get consistently missed on recycling. I have been missed regularly on garbage as well. The city has the ability to pull their contract if this continues.

I live in Crook County. We went a whole month without recycle pick up. The service is always on FB because of inconsistent service. We went two weeks with no garbage pickup. It's like this all over the city as well as out of city limits! VERY FRUSTRATING when you're paying for a service!

LOL. In Crooked River Ranch - we don't know what 'recycling' is. The garbage company totally did away with it. So - I feel no sympathy for some of you who have 'delays'.
