Let people cut it up for fire wood! So many couldn't get wood because of the fire danger and cutting was closed. I for one do not have enough wood to last the winter.

Len Parsons

And let people cut them up for firewood

Sell the lumber.

They're dying and hazardous to drivers, so why not remove the lumber and put it to good use?

HELP PEOPLE BY SELLING IT CHEAPER THAN MOST THAT JUST MONEY HUNGRY!!! $25 A CORD WOULD HELP A LOT OF SENIORS ON S.S. THAT HAVE TO LIVE DAY BY DAY TO SURVIVE!!!

Robert Keepers

Give the wood to poor

Ka San

I agree with Leslie. Donate the wood to people who may not be able to afford to buy it.

Leslie Ann

Not sell but donate to those who need to heat with wood.

Gramma Jean

Let private firewood companies come there to clean it up, then sell it.

Leaving it that provides more fuel for future fires. The profits from selling the lumber will help the industry and provide jobs and funds for reforestation projects or upgrades to the rec areas.

Matthew Carter

What's the point of leaving a bunch of dead trees along the road that ODOT (or whom ever) killed??? I get trees are natural but their demise was not.

GT Thomas

Duh do you really have to ask why we should not waste wood.

Richard Dillard

I would hate to see these trees go to waste and the forest service could put the money to good use

Mou Chat Reed

Use them for heavens sake.

Duane Oakes

I would not sell the lumber. what I would like to see is the lumber milled into post and other timbers to use on our roads and hwys. This lumber could be used for guardrails and signage along Oregon.

Karen Rickard Smith

firewood maybe???

Sharon Catania

Do not leave them there, but do not cut them down for selling, either. They have been sprayed with herbicide, so if someone were to burn them as firewood, it would be a risk to health.

Sabrina Anne Tanned

This is obvious, right?

Michael Stream

Sell it off to highest bidder. Use funds to restore other forest areas. This also gets it all cleaned up to help in avoiding more forest fires.

Teri Williams

Sell the lumber....need to open our forests to timber sales and clean up the mess.

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.

Cause THEY ARE ALWAYS LATE🤬

Loy Helmly

Missed glad recycling pickup twice.

Rick Allen

We do not even have any recycling in my area, no cardboard, no glass, no nothing!!!

Jacob Wilton

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.

Kathi McDonald

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'.

Mark Mueller

Unfortunately we don't have curbsid pickup in rural Deschutes Co. Garbage PU has been good since its been Republic.

Dave Leverick

I have never had a problem with cascade disposal If there is a problem they notify by email and phone
