Dyers woad program: Join the Cache County Conservation Districts and Weed Department in the War On Weeds. Together we can protect our natural landscapes and preserve biodiversity. Noxious weeds are invasive plant species that pose serious threats to ecosystems, agriculture, native plant communities, and our economy. They out-compete native vegetation, reducing food for wildlife and domesticated animals.Dyers woad (Isatis tinctoria) is a highly invasive plant originating in Europe, introduced into North America as a source of blue dye. It infests disturbed sites, rangelands, pastures, roadsides, and cultivated fields; and seeds are easily dispersed on animal fur, clothing, shoes and vehicles. How You Can HelpVolunteer:– Join Cache County residents in efforts to remove Dyers woad by pulling weeds, bagging them and returning the bags in exchange for cash and prize drawings.– Spread awareness about the importance of managing noxious weeds.– Report sightings of noxious weeds at www.eddmaps.org or on the EddMaps app. Bag ‘O WoadAn informational meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 3, from 6:00- 7:30 pm at the Cache Event Center (Fairgrounds).

Green Waste Dumpster

Logan will not be providing a green waste dumpster this year. They are still accepting green waste at no charge but will be assessing whether this will be continued in the future. 

Be advised that dumping green waste on public property and along roadways is illegal and could result in citations. Clarkston Town does not allow green waste or any debris to be dumped in or around the old gravel pit and will aggressively pursue all legal options if someone is caught doing so. 

The Town Council recognizes that the green waste collection site was extremely popular and beneficial, but for Clarkston to provide one would be extremely expensive. The town is interested in citizens’ input to help us find a viable solution.
