Household Confidential Burn
We operate a convenient household confidential burn program to assist residents of Pope and Douglas Counties with their confidential and/or sensitive documents.
Documents are dumped directly into a waste combustor for direct waste to energy incineration.
Materials are not sent through the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF).
